GOD PLEASE BE WITH MANTLE'S FAMILY IN THIS TIME! HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE WITHOUT PAIN AND SUFFERING! TO ALL HE LEFT BEHIND: HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!

I met Jimmy through a friend through my karate school. Two of my friends and I would walk up at Pattonville at night. We would visit him up at AMC. I just learned of his passing tonight. I couldnt believe my ears. I am sorry Jim Mantle isnt around. He was such a funny character. He would always crack me up. The last time I saw him he was working for a place off of Lindbergh, he said helping a buddy sell cars. God Bless You.

I just heard about Jim's passing. I am so very sorry. He was a wonderful man.

Jim was my D.A.R.E. officer when I was in the fifth grade. Later around 2000, I ran into him again working security at AMC. My friend and I were being hassled by the AMC staff to prove our age. Jim called the AMC staff off of us after he and I had a funny exchange about him being my D.A.R.E. officer 7 or 8 years before. After that, I would see Jim regularly at Sports Authority (where I worked at the...

My friend Jim..Who knew the last time that I saw you at the Theatre back in March that would be the last time, I would embrace my friend of over 20 years.God Bless you and Rest in Peace My friend....Our Family will deeply miss you.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. He always seemed to have a bright light within him that was contagious to the others around him. My thoughts & prayers are with his family.

I first knew him as Chief Mantle, then "Shorty", then friend, and finally hero. I met "Shorty" in the summer of 2001 when I took my first job at AMC. His humor and smile gravitated everyone to him. When my father began police training I talked to "Shorty" every time I was at work trying to get him to know my dad. After my dad ended up working with him I got to know him even more. I saw him as a friend. I sought his approval as much as I sought my own fathers. He was an amazing, funny, lovely...

I remember Jim as a bright spot on the
PTA Executive Board at Pattonville's
Remington Traditional School many years ago. His concern for the school and especially his own children was evident as he met with us monthly after
working all day. Also, I remember his compassion for a marching band member who fainted during a "Missouri Days" parade. He gave us a little glimpse of
how much he cared about others that day. I am sure that he must have brought that characteristic...

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I have known him since kindergarten, although we have not seen each other for awhile. He was always a kind, and funny guy. I know he was greatly loved and will be deeply missed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
