JAMES BUCKLE Obituary

Buckle, James R.

1939 - 2016

James R. Buckle, age 77, died peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on Friday evening, October 14, 2016.

Jim was born on May 31, 1939 in Boulder, CO to Florence and James Buckle. He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Virginia A. Figge; his five children: Jim, Teri, Jan, Allison and Bill; and his eight grandchildren: Trevor, Tanner, Kelsey, Bryan, Ashley, Lauren, Daniel and Claire.

Jim enjoyed long careers in both cross-country trucking and the beer business, but most recently enjoyed retirement in his home in Corona del Mar with his wife by his side. Jim had a love for horses, motorcycles and cars, and found joy in riding and driving throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed the shooting range, telling stories, and all things family. Jim touched the lives of all he knew with his kindness, genuine concern for others, and his warm outgoing nature. His charismatic personality and quick wit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, October 21 at 12:00 PM in Waverly Chapel at Fairhaven Memorial Park, Santa Ana. CA. www.fairhavenmemorial.com

Jim and I became very close while working in beverage industry as much younger men. Always an easy going gentleman and friend. In wishing the family some sense of serenity, knowing Jim's life was one well lived-indeed.
Well done my old beer buddy!
