Mr. Jancik was one of my favorite teachers, and an excellent driving instructors. He always took time out of his schedule to help when needed. 
He exemplified respect, kindness, and compassion.  Mr. Jancik touched many lives, and will always be remembered as one of the best. Sincere condolences to the family.

Dennis was a solid colleague, an amusing co-worker, and respected friend during our many years together at Rockford High School.  He had a dry, quiet wit that often made me laugh out loud.  My condolences to his family. 

Dennis was my math teacher some 40 years ago and had a profound impact on my life. He found a way to teach math that gave me much of my self confidence and an assurance that I have today. I will never forget his ability to reach out to other students and his sense of humor.  Prayers and thanks  to Dennis, his family and friends.

Such a kind man.  I knew him through providing child care to Jenny and Tom.  Blessings on this family.  With much respect,  Sue Mattson


Great teacher and driving instructor. Great memories. Condolences to Family and Friends. 

Driver's education and math classes. A good man and a solid citizen. The world is diminished by his passing.


Mr. Jancik was my math teacher. He was very  intelligent and had  a special gift for teaching. I can remembering him giving me that look when I wasn't paying attention. He was a quiet man but always was willing to give you any extra help that you needed.


I had Mr Jancik as a teacher a little over 25 yrs ago. Once for math, and I did all of my road hours with him for Driver's Ed. He was always very patient and kind. He was one of the good ones. I'm sorry for your loss.
        

Mr. Jancik was a very patient teacher.  His kindness will be missed.  Peace to the Jancik family.

Whoever wrote Dennis’s obituary was right on describing him. I taught with Dennis for four years in Rockford and enjoyed his wit and dry humor. Kind man…the world is a better place for him being in it. 

There weren't so many years between us and so as I was growing up, uncle Denny was more like an older brother to me.  I used to follow him around much to his chagrin and there was a lot of teasing going on between us.  While he acted like I was a bit of a pest, I always knew that he would be there if I needed him.
