I hope where he is that he is surrounded by dogs and that the fish are always biting and that his Cardinal team is always a winner.
So many words describe Jim…kind, sweet, compassionate, loving, amazing husband, dad and grandpa. He loved his family and dogs unconditionally. He enjoyed a good day boating, fishing and time with his angler friends. His face would lit up talking about his grandson Will and wanting to share the outdoors with him. I would love to stop and chat with him and Hank on their daily walks in the neighborhood. God bless you Jim. You will be dearly missed
My most sincere condolences. Although I never had the opportunity to “meet” Mr. McClary in person, Our recent short relationship has left an indelible handprint on my heart. The strength and resolve of Judy and Jamie will remain a source of inspiration to me.
Our sincere condolences to all. We will always cherish the many wonderful memories shared at Houghton Lake. Love and hugs
A wonderful man who will be missed by many, especially his family who love him and will miss him dearly but know he is in a good place now.
Dear Judy, our deepest sympathy to you, Jamie, and your entire family. We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know Jim. What a wonderful, sweet, and kind man. We would see him and Hank on our walks and he was always smiling and stopped to chat. He will be missed. Sending prayers of comfort and peace to you all.
Judy,I’m so sorry for your loss. Jim will be missed dearly.
Sending Love and Prayers
Sorry for the loss of Jim or as he was known to us – Hank’s dad. Such a nice man and we enjoyed seeing him on our dog walks. May he rest in peace.
Jim was the model of consistency, dependability & simplicity. He perfected
The art of both keeping it simple and
Keeping it calm. 4:00 p.m. Busch Lite
Steaks on the grill. Hope he is enjoying
That now . We will miss him dearly.
So sorry to hear of Jim’s passing,. I only knew him when we would meet “on the streets” walking our dogs. He was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever known. Loved his family so much and of course loved dogs. He is missed for sure!
I can’t see you, hear you or touch you but I know our love is still alive. My heart aches without you.
I will find you in the next life.
