I’m saddened to hear of Dr. Jansen’s passing this year. Dr. Jansen and his then wife, Peggy, had been my employers for about four years (1980-1984). Working at their veterinary hospital taught me so very much and they were great employers. God Bless Dr. Jansen and may he rest forever in eternal peace. Amen.
