To the Vast and Extended Bansley Family
No man had a greater zest for life, for his family, and for his Lord and Savior. His smile and unique chuckle lit up a room, a porch, a party.
I will always consider him my friend and I will forever count him as one of the true blessings in my life's story.
God Bless Jim and God Bless all who mourn his passing and celebrate his life.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Mike Deering

Dear Barnsley Family,
Will miss Jim not seeing him faithfully at 8:30 AM Saturday Masses at Christ the King; Jim would stay for the 9 AM Holy Rosary Recitation. Great man, super friendly. Jim will be missed by so many! So very sorry for your loss.
