Edward Clancy

Have been remembering Ed Clancy, and am glad the website has sent occasion to review his obit, that also reminded me to look to the one a Penobscot paper ran for his first wife, Betty/Elizabeth. I remember her strength of independent spirit, which was remarkable!! --- It impressed me as daring, and quite scary bold. Sometime when I myself was young, my own dad remarked upon a Christmas letter that Ed had written and sent out. -- It was a parody of the archetypal general letter in which...

Ms. Lepanto, thank you for your kind words about my father. My siblings and I appreciate it very much. Our dad was very dedicated to his work in the Physics Department.

So very sorry to hear of Professor Clancy's passing. I remember him fondly from the Mount Holyoke Physics Dept in the mid 1970s. My condolences to the family.

Molly, my siblings and I read with appreciation your touching recollections of our dad. Your anecdotes bring back happy memories for us. We also remember with fondness your parents and your fine family. Thank you again.

Apologies for being late in writing -- What an endeavor to survive until the age of 105!! I have thought of Ed, sadly, missing contact with him that had been through parental friendships. I hope it was a good few years since I had last seen him in a flying visit the Williamsons brought to see the two of them in Scarborough. At that time, Ed was very quietly focussed; if I am not mistaken, he may have been reviewing a very fine article on Mechanics (??) in a particularly special edition...

To Dean Davis and the writer from Flint, Michigan, thank you for your kind words. Our family appreciates your notes. Sincerely, Ben Clancy (Edward Clancy's son).

It was an honor to meet Ed at Holbrook where I am a volunteer.
A few years ago I shared a "Wood Boat" magazine and a photo I took in Pulpit Harbor with him as he had told me about his sailboat. I will always remember how very gracious he was when he thanked me for the magazine and photo.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The death of a loved one is such a difficult time for the entire family. I hope you can find comfort in God's Word the Bible. I am confident that the Bible will provide some solace and relief during this time of sorrow.. My sincere condolences
