Not sure what to say?

Diane , Rick and the rest of the McClain Family,
I extend my deepest sympathy to you on your loss . To say Jimmy was one of a kind does not do justice to the unique individual that he was .What great memories he left for so many of us ; may the good memories shared by all of you , his family , help you through this time of sadness. Rest in Peace my friend .

I am very sorry for your loss Diane. My thoughts are with you & your family.

I have only good memories of Jim. He was always positive, always fun loving, and always had that twinkle in this eye that said to every one around him both teammates and friends, that - hey we can do this. And his smile said to everyone around him that we can have a good time while we are at it. Jimmy was a unique guy, one of the very best and he will be missed by all of us.

Diane, I am so sorry that Jim is gone, much too soon. Seeing both of you at the Reunion was wonderful. I admire you for your commitment to your family, all those wonderful grandchildren and your work. Unique, droll, funny Jim from high school sure turned out well! I hope all the good memories help you through these difficult times. Take of yourself and your family. Sandi Daumke, Classmate Westlake High School and Wittenberg University.

Diane I am so sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of Jim in my life. We laughed all the time when we were together. I am so very sorry. Martin McClain

What a perfectly fitting and beautiful tribute to Jim. My deepest sympathy to Diane and all the family for their loss. How Blessed I feel to have spent time with both,at their home, after our 50th WHS reunion. I too will always remember the twinkle in his eyes and the great wrestler and football player he was in HS. As the saying goes, "God threw away the mold after he made Jim"! My heart and prayers go out to you, Diane.

Dear Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. Hope that your memories give you and your family comfort and strength at this difficult time. Sincerely, your golf pal, Amy Hook
