Forum friends,
 
We have lost one of our own. This past February Jan Eiken passed from his final battle with cancer.
 
Jan had been in and out of the hospital since December.
 
He was my friend on the forum and in real life. We walked the floor of NAMM twice. With Daryl and I he wrote songs with great wit, insight and most of all humor. He made me laugh. I for one will miss him dearly. The Coffee House will never be the same without him.
 
There will be an East & West Cost Memorial Service for Jan.
 
East Coast:
Saturday Match 14th
2:00PM
St. Stephens Lutheran Church
120 Pleasant Ave.
Edison, NJ 08827
 
Wet Coast:
Sunday March 29th
1:00PM
Orange County Spiritual Renewal
17272 Newhope Street
Fountain Valley, CA 92708
 
To my dearly departed friend I say,
 
Black Dog Jan,
Black Dog.

Sad news.

 
RIP Jan.
 
Thanks for letting us know, Ed.

:(  RIP jan

F***!  I felt something was wrong, but was hoping for the best...
 
That's going to ruin my night and weekend... 
 
RIP Jan!

That's just awful. I'm so sorry. Jan was a true gentleman on these forums, and in life too I'm sure. Thanks for letting know Ed.

Sad news indeed. Here's to those not present.

Sad news. His name was baked into this forum. 

Very sad news indeed.

Farewell Jan.

A true gentleman without any trace of bitterness or malice.
You will be missed mate.
