Jim was born in Saint Cloud to Alois and Peggy (Forester) Kantor of Sartell, MN. He married the love of his life, Patricia (Trish) Todd on February 28th, 1981 in Clear Lake. He graduated from Sartell High School and Saint Cloud Technical College. Throughout his life, he worked various jobs. He enjoyed watching westerns and wrestling, but loved cooking and sharing BBQ chicken with the neighborhood.
