James Louis Antal, 80, passed away at home on January 22, 2022 with his family by his side.
He was born September 26, 1941 to Pearl and Louis Antal of Copley. He graduated from Copley High School in the Class of 1959.
Jim was never unemployed from 14 years old at King Arthurs on Copley Rd. until retirement in 2008 from ABF Freight Systems as a Director of National Accounts. That position allowed him to travel the country making lifetime friends and playing golf at great courses.
Anyone who met Jim never forgot him and he never forgot them. He prided himself on being on time which elicited many jokes from family and friends. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandpa and friend.
He leaves to cherish his memory wife, Nancie; daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and Russell Strobach; grandchildren, Brennan, Emily and Claire; daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Scott Shafer; grandsons, Logan and Ryan; step-daughter and spouse, Polly and Bruce Lorenzo; step-grandchildren, Matt and Sara Lorenzo; great-granddaughter, Lennon; step-grandchildren, Gina and James Kicos; great-grandsons, Dane and Blake Kicos; step-daughter and spouse, Pamela and Rich Cohen; step-grandchildren, Mike, Kyle and Joe; step-daughter, Rochelle Bledsoe; great-granddaughter, Jessica McCain and spouse, Chris, and their children, Addison and Ashlynn; brother, Bob Antal of Florida.
Waiting to greet him, daughter, Debra and sister, Sandra.
R.I.P. Jim, you were always on time (and your BBQ sauce is famous).
A private Memorial Service will be help at Ciriello and Carr Funeral Home, 39 S. Miller Rd. in Fairlawn
