Of all the teachers in all of my years of schooling, Mr. Cleary was, by far, my favorite teacher. I can still hear him start his classes: "All right now, let's begin." And he'd be off and running...nary a note in evidence.
My sympathies go to his family. He is a man who will never be forgotten.

To Florence & Family
For many years Jim was a good friend to me. All the year with the Knight of Columbus we work together and had many good time doing it. Jim was always a gentleman to everyone that he came in touch with. He will be missed by everyone.

Mr. Cleary was a major inspiration for me in my teaching career. He demonstrated compassion and concern for his students and treated them as individuals. I have tried by emulation to follow his example and as a result he has indirectly touched over seven thousand young people. I think of him often and I shall pray for him, as well as his family.
