Jimmy had the biggest smile. He was always kidding with you. I am proud to say he was a great friend when we were growing up. Such a big heart. A great man.

I will certainly miss seeing Jim working on his beautiful yard! He was a great neighbor. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.

Jim and I grew up with each other as neighbors in Valley Park.. He always had a smile on his face and was so kind.. My brothers enjoyed playing basketball with him behind our garage on Leonard.. Fly high Jim!!

Jim Bantel was a great kind caring compassionate man he was the quiet mans "MAN". He led by example a great model of how to live. I met Jim 42 years ago when Marion brought Jim on a date, to take me to one of my basketball games. I will never forget you Jim Bantel.
