James Crossan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
James was born in Wilmington, the son of the late Doris (Todd) and James J. Crossan. He was a graduate of Salesianum high chool, worked at Wilmington country club into retirement, and a Delaware native. Jim was a caring brother, loving father, doting grandfather, and the kindest friend to many. He enjoyed a good Phillies game, visits to Key West, FL, spending time with family, and chatting with friends at Comegys pub. He could always make you laugh with entertaining facts and tales from the past. There was no fear in wearing the best Phillies and Eagles T-shirts to even the toughest Yankees or Cowboys turf.
He is survived by his sister, Jane Reinbold; nephew, Brian Reinbold; daughter, Kim Halkopoulos; and grandson Ilias Halkopoulos.
