Janusz Kowal (11 Apr 1922 - 29 May 2015)

I was very sorry to read about Jan's death. Unfortunately I did not see the notice in the paper until after the funeral. I worked with Jan, he as a Design Engineer and I as a Commercial Engineer, at GEC for several years and we went on a few business trips together. We got on well and I remember in particular his wicked dry sense of humour, including giving nicknames, not always flattering, to some of his fellow engineers. I know from what he told me that he had a rough time of it in World War II when he was still in Poland. I believe he became a pilot when he came to England but I don't know how much action he saw. RIP Janusz.
