Sorry to hear this news---I met Jantz at the net 54 dinner a few years back--A real nice guy and fun to talk with---Sold him some T206's with polar bear backs--He always stopped at my booth to chat and look at cards---He will be missed.

I am deeply saddened to read this news. Jantz was a very knowledgeable and respectful person. He will be terribly missed and always remembered.

Baltimore 2010: I remember chasing a guy down that has this bad ass Piedmont porcelain door push to ask where he got it. This was the first time I met Jantz in person and we immediately hit it off. He also pulled down some great deals on a few ghost images(back when they were a $100 each) for just over face value around $25-30 each. All I have are great memories of a great guy and hobby friend. Be well on your travels my friend.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Thanks to Net54, I first met Jantz at the 2008 National. And, I looked forward to each subsequent National to get together with him.
We would talk T206's for what seemed like hours at a time. We made some great trades, as Jantz would have some really great T206 front / back combos.
A really, really great guy, he will be missed.

GOD Bless his soul....and, may GOD comfort his family.

Very, very sad news.

Eternally grateful for his service to our country, and God Bless his soul.

Default RIP good man

Reading his online obituary and comments it's plain to see he was a genuine, kind, easy-going and wonderful person. I had one message exchange with him over the years and indeed just in that message he was incredibly respectful and informative.

RIP Jantz

So sorry to read this. Jantz was a sweet and friendly guy who loved the hobby. I loved seeing him at the occasional show and watching him light up when he talked about T206s.

Hopefully his family reads this thread and sees our condolences.

So sad. I noticed that he posted fairly often and seemed very easy going? Was he sick? RIP

Jantz and Gil; that's a double header of losses which hurts us all.

I, too, am deeply saddened by this news. I enjoyed talking to him every time that I would see him at the National in Cleveland. He always enjoyed hearing about the low end cards that I was interested in. He will really be missed.
