Condolence: I am exceedingly grateful to have worked with Jim at Schneider. Always a man with class and professionalism mixed with a wonderful style and warm smile. A strong man who was always dependable and one I would look up too as a partner at work. Love and support to Jim's family and loved ones. Tough to accept when a good man is taken too soon but know he touched the lives of many and was a difference maker. Sorry I can not make the visitation as away but know if there is support needed I am there in spirit. Thanks Jimfor touching my life ... always in deepest respect Lionel van Monsjou

Condolence: My heart goes out to all of Jim's family and friends- he will be truly missed. A consummate gentleman and a true professional in every way. I am privileged to have worked with Jim even for so short a Time.

Condolence: I had the privilege to work with Jim at Schneider National. He was a true gentleman and always positive. He had a tremendous work ethic which he share with his colleagues. Jim will be greatly missed by his extended family and many with whom he came in contact throughout his. Rest in peace my friend.

Condolence: A true gentleman in every respect. I had the pleasure of receiving his help when i was a new driver and then later working with him in our training dept. Never met anyone who could match his calm and level headed approach to everything and everyone he assisted. I later had the honor of presenting him an award for the highest honor a driver can achieve with our company. A phenomenal driver/trainer and an even better person. Miss you Jim.

Condolence: Our condolences to the entire Jim Bender family. We grew up as cousins and enjoyed our times in his youth- even then, he was a soft kind soul.
Wishing the family peace and comfort as you celebrate Jim's Life!
You are all in our Prayers! Susan & David Bender

Condolence: Mister Jim Bender. The heart of our family at Schneider for many years. He is greatly missed, his time with us was remarkable and memorable.

Jim always listened when anyone needed him. Time is valuable and he gave so much of his precious moments to others. He taught lessons in safe driving and was our guide to be more patient, kind and to have integrity in this life. He lead by example.

Just hearing his voice would put you at ease. He had that impact where you knew things would be ok with him by your side. Honesty and trust has that effect. We all appreciated his support.

Viola and family. My deepest sympathies to you all. May the memories you have and the words expressed by all that cared for Jim offer you peace.

Condolence: Ernie and Brenda and families;
So sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one. Cherish the memories!

Condolence: One of the kindest gentleman I ever worked with. I had a great respect for him. The way he talked to people and respected them will always be an example to me. My condolences to the family. I’m sure his smile and humour is still being shared.

Condolence: I had the privilege of working with Jim while he was with Schneider. During his time with us, Jim was the consummate professional and a kind and gentle soul. You just couldn't help but respect Jim... and not just because he was a highly accomplished Haul of Fame driver. We also respected him It is because of the type of person he was and how he always seemed to brighten the days of others. Jim will be sadly missed by his Schneider family

Condolence: My condolences to the Bender family. I’m glad I had the privilege of working with Jim. He was also kind and treated us all with the out most respect. 2 things you could always be sure when you saw Jim was his smile and his perfect hair. No matter how hot or cold he always had time to make sure he fixed his air. Rest In Peace Mr Bender.
