  • This is a good one. Barbara Hall is listed in your '58 memorial.

    This is what I found. There is probably more here than you need, but they were together so I thought you would be interested.

    J C was in my class in 1957, but I did not see him in '58 or '59. Barbara was in your class 1957, jr at ector in 58, graduated 1959 at Ector. Maybe she dropped out a year when they married. Did not see JC there either.

    Joseph Charles "JC" Klusmeyer 
    "JC" Joseph Charles Klusmeyer 1941-2009 Joseph Charles "JC" Klusmeyer, 67, met his Lord at the finish line on August 7, 2009 after sustaining head injuries from a motorcycle accident in Hulett, Wyoming. He passed away in Rapid City, South Dakota with his loving wife, Susie, his children and siblings by his side. He was born at home (and almost ahead of the Doctor) to Jacob Charles and Dorothy Marie DeArmond-Klusmeyer in Banner, Oklahoma, on August 13, 1941. He moved with his family to Odessa in 1952, spending the rest of his life in the town he felt was his true home. JC's love for horsepower and speed was apparent at an early age. As a young man in the 1950's his passion was to race motorcycles professionally. For many years he lived this passion, and from the late sixties to early seventies, JC and his brother Don owned Klusmeyer Motorcycle Parts and Accessories. Even today his name is recognized and associated with his experiences and exploits on and off the track. During that time of his youth, he met and fell in love with Barbara Maxine Hall. They married December 31, 1958. This union produced two children, daughter Traci Lyne and son Larry Scott. Even though JC was in the top of the racing ranking, the profession was still young and the chances of making a living there were slim, he pursued racing as a part time endeavor. With a growing family he naturally began work in the oilfield. He worked as a roughneck, driller, tool pusher, with Wharton Drilling. For a time though, he did leave the oilfield. Working for Ervin Plumbing, he became a licensed plumber and ran the water well drilling part of the business. After a while, the oil industry called again, and he went to work for a good friend of his, Jack Parks. He continued to manage Tillery and Parks for a few years after Jack passed away. He then began his association with Galveston-Houston Co., which included Foster power tongs, and traveled for them as a service specialist all over the world, from South America to the Middle East. He and his family prospered and his passion for his motorcycles was still strong. Because of this dedication to his work and the trust of his customers, in 1980 he had the opportunity to begin Klusmeyer, Inc., here in Odessa. Then sadly, in January 1984, JC's wife Barbara passed away shortly after the couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary
