HERMAN, Janic "Ian" - On December 10, 2021, our beloved, gentle giant, Janic (Ian) Herman, revisited his favourite path and took his last walk.
A man of quiet disposition, Janic was a nature lover, finding peace and seeing beauty when surrounded by trees and forest, his favourite places on earth.
He appreciated music of all genres, and knew his way around classical, jazz and rock. Janic was also a lover of cinema and spent countless hours at the movies.
His annual birthday trips to Mexico with his mother, Anica, provided warmth and wonderful memories.
But no love was greater than that of a walk in nature.
Janic loved and took pride in his work and it was there, that his big heart embraced those less fortunate.
