I just talk to him a few weeks ago out in the yard eating cookies and chitchatting he was telling me he did have long I told and mine as well have fun while your here. He told me he might go do that was the last time I seen him. Well you see I really going to miss that guy my neighbor playing golf and mowing the turnaround like a crazy man far well my friend flying high in golf heaven rest in peace Jack going to really miss ya

It is with a heavy heart we learn of Jim´s passing. Betsy and I became fast friends with Jim. We shared our YMCA and Fostoria Country Club experiences over decades. I last saw Jim at the golf course late one fall about 5 years ago. We talked for about 30 minutes. Jim was always interested in how others were doing. Conversation came very easy with Jim. Jim was everyone´s friend! An individual who exhibited grace and humility. It is a honor to call him my friend and he will be greatly...

Mr. Mennel´s kindness and joy for teaching will last with me forever. It´s been 30 years and I can still remember his smile as he told us jokes in class. What a wonderful person <3

Mr. Mennel was my 4th grade teacher at Longfellow back in 2000 (I believe). He was always so kind and understanding. My home life had just gone through a major change, and he always had a way of making me feel heard and important. He was a huge positive influence at that time of my life.

I taught with Jim at both Field and the Intermediate building. He was always kind and funny and the students just loved him. Prayers for his family!

I'm deeply saddened to learn of Jim's passing. We were good friends growing up in Fostoria. He was always a special individual, kind, reserved, and with his own individual type of class. My condolences go out to the entire Mennel Family.
