Jim was my mentor and one of my best friends at St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. He served as a lay worship leader in my wedding and was so supportive in helping me get my license as a lay worship leader. He was just a good person who saw the good in everyone and never spoke ill of anyone publicly. He was the rock of our church and our compass. He will be forever loved and missed.

Jim, you will be missed. Over the past few years we came to know you as a wonderful and caring person. We always looked forward to seeing you on our visits from Canada. Whenever we left to return home, we knew that Matt and his family were in the best of hands. Your friendship and guidance to them will never be forgotten. THANK YOU. God bless you and yours

There simply aren't enough words to describe one's influence on one's life. But when it comes to Clancy, he was simply Special. He was loyal, unselfish, and willing. The heart he had made my heart grow and made me realize that life isn't easy and that you have to work at it to in order for it to be what you want it to be. He didn't have to be the friend he was to me and my family, but he was. He provided me with hope and pushed me to be strong, willing, and greatful. Not many people know how much he really meant to me. He meant a lot. I am greatful to have had him as a mentor and someone who was like a father. I am simply blessed for his love and friendship, his being has truly influenced my life and forever will. My thoughts and prayers are with his daughter, mother, Jean, family, friends, and his dear cats that he loved so much.
