James Closs

I first met Jim when he moved in next door to us at Buckroe Beach. Jim was a fun-loving person who could get along with anyone. Jim was always in good spirits and could converse with anyone. Jim loved to laugh and when he laughed, well it was infectious, we all laughed. He loved racing & working on his BMW, and his escape weekends to the track. In fact, it seemed Jim was always piddling with something mechanical in his garage. Ryeken said it was sometimes tough to get you to come inside to...

Buckroe Gang gathering for dinner. Good memories!

Thanks for your hospitality that brought the cul-de-sac together. You were the glue of the community. Your memory is and will always be blessing; and your legacy will be remembered because you modeled community investment through friendship. Rest easy, my friend!

Goodbye my friend. God speed. I see you racing across the clouds in your BMW with the audience of other Buckroe Gang members who beat you there. Miss Ginny must be dancing with joy to see you! Beth is smiling and preparing lemonade and snacks for you. Say hello to "Stevie Ray." We are still hiding his portrait amongst us! So many good memories, laughs, drinks, and gatherings over the years. Bye now. Mary

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

May God bless you and your family. My late husband, Raymond and I enjoyed spending time at the beach with you N
