Jack R. Clary

What an amazing legacy! I didn't know senior, but went to school with junior. What a wonderful tribute to a great man and an extraordinary family.

Jack was a friend of my dads. In the 1980’s, My sister, brother and I owned a cabin on the south branch of the Pere Marquette river near Baldwin. We were having a legal issue with a neighbor. Jack was kind enough to come to the cabin and meet with the neighbor, my dad, and me. It was a light hearted meeting that could have become contentious. Jack was an artist with the language he used! In the end, the problem was solved and we all parted ways as better friends. Some people we meet...

My sympathies to the Clary family,
I knew Mr. Clary from my employment at Mulick Floral. We were located next door, around the corner from his office building. He parked his fancy car, I don’t remember what kind it was, in our separate garage from the rest of the garage. That way no one could get near it. But he would walk through our back door and workroom every morning and greet us all. He would always give us a happy thought for the day and made us laugh or smile. He enjoyed sending...

My condolences to the family. I was several years younger than Jack but I remember him from Beecher band, probably his senior year. It sounds as if he had a wonderful life. Thank you for this awesome obituary.

Great boss, great man. I worked for Jack as his personal legal secretary at Warner, Norcross & Judd and left with him to start the law firm Clary, Nantz & Wood. He was a great mentor and encouraged my abilities. I feel very privileged to have experienced this chapter of my life, working for a very driven, demanding, yet very compassionate man. I extend my prayers and condolences to Nancy and the family.

A great man. I had the privilege and pleasure to work for Clary, Nantz & Wood for 25 years. He was a well respected and passionate leader. May he rest in peace.

Jack was a true gentleman. His knowledge of life and his continuous involvement in life at full speed and energy was a wonderful example to all who knew him. May he rest in peace. God's love and compassion to his wife, Nancy, and to his family.

Jen and Mitch-
Sending my condolences - appreciated reading your dad's obit - very accomplished. You were lucky to have him. Thinking of you and your family - always enjoyed our time together.

Often people are described as one of a kind. But JRC truly was one of a kind!! I had the privilege of working with Jack for many years. He was truly a Renaissance man--knowing more about law, art, nature, wine, hunting, horticulture, wild animal hunting, and classical music as well as hillbilly--than anyone person should be allowed to know. He will be remembered! Condolences to Nancy and Jack C as well as the rest of the family! His passing will leave a huge void for many! RIP, Jack. ...
