It's with a broken heart, that I send condolences to all Jaani's family. Jaan was a dear friend of my family. Jaan was such a sweet, helpful,young man when I first got to know him. Always laughing and making people laugh with him. He was a very close friend to my father ( Jim Weaver) and was with us often. He was extremely willing to help out with whatever was being done! A great neighbor, friend and confidant. I'm sure that anyone on TransCanada bay, would see Jaan travel to and from our place for years. Between my mom and I, I am sure he ate at our table a thousand times! As a girl I remember watching him speeding around in his white Cutter boat , with the huge roaster tail! Oh I miss going to bed on Friday or Saturday night and hearing the boats flying around the lake ! Ya, I get it! times have changed! But nothing beats that sound! Sure you hear it still, but it's just not the same! I grew up a few years too late, missed out on days of floatilla partying on regatta day, picnic island parties and all that terrible business! Guessing it's just as well. Look where it got Jaan? Alcohol is such a nasty drug. I wish for everyone's sake that things had ended differently. That he'd lived the promising, ambitious life, he'd set out to have! Jaan, your warm smile, your laugh and your teddy bear presence will forever be missed. Sitting at my kitchen table, my view shall be blurred for a long long time. Six mile will never be the same, my friend. RIP with my parents and yours. Always, your little sweet heart, Annie
