JAN THALMAN
The family of Jan Thalman regretfully
announces his peaceful passing on Sunday,
November 15, 2015 at the Riverview Health
Centre at the age of 65.
Jan worked for 30 plus years at Sobeys
Cash and Carry and took pride in his candy
aisle. He also had a passion for painting
homes and enjoyed seeing the results. He
loved being around his family and friends
at the lake, where he was deemed "The
Candy Man". Endless games of horseshoes,
happy hour fires, and golf cart rides were
the highlights. He will be remembered for
being the greatest father and grandfather
anyone could ask for. Jan took pride in
his children and grandchildren and never
missed a horse show, hockey event, dance
recital or swimming lesson.
Jan was a drummer for the band "The Other
Side" for 38 years. His red shoes and tie
are a trademark, and his drumming skills
were impeccable, especially when he played
"Wipeout".
He leaves to cherish fond memories: wife
Sharon; children, Jill (Blair), Danny
(Melissa), Lori; grandchildren, Tyler,
Alana, Evan; grand-dog Tika, and his
beloved pet Nikki. Siblings: Donna (Doug)
and Pat (Ron), Jim and numerous nieces and
nephews.
The family would like to thank Dr. Luk,
Dr. Gingerich, Cheryl, the staff of
Riverview 3E namely Kate, Arlene and Kim.
Tremendous thanks to Val Severyn for being
a support from the beginning to the end.
You have been a rock, and are the true
definition of a best friend. Thank you Ken
Stenson for being there in the good times
and in the tough times, Roy and Jacquie
Nichol for your endless support, and Brent
Severyn for being a great friend. Thanks
to the band, whom Jan considered his
brothers, for arranging the celebration of
life.
Interment and reception took place on
November 19. Donations can be made to The
Humane Society or CancerCare Manitoba.
Drum on Ringo! We love you and miss you.
