We are sorry for the loss of your Dear brother. You will be greatly missed by all your love ones. You lived a life serving others. May you rest in peace. I know our Lord welcomed you with open arms.

...a life well lived and well loved... Our friendship began in seminary in 1966 and has continued over the years. I can hear Jim's wry humor even as I write this note. My love in Christ surrounds all who treasure him.

Prayers for the family during this time of loss. He was a light for everyone, a smiling face. He will be greatly missed in our community.

Prayers go out to all of Rev. Bangle’s family . I’ll always remember his visits to the hospital every Christmas Eve. He made a point to speak to all the staff. He came after his Midnight service. I’ll always remember him helping me into hospital on Christmas Eve when it was very icy. I was on call for surgery. He was a wonderful, thoughtful person.

I was sad to hear of Jim’s passing. I worked with him at Heatherwood for 15 years, and we shared many laughs. It won’t be the same without him. God bless, Jo.
