JAMES H. McCLATCHY

To the McClatchy Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in this time. I hope you can take comfort that Uncle Jay is with his family and looking down at what a wonderful family he has left behind. May God be with you all in your time of need.
Love to all

Dear Family everyone,
First of all I want to say all my life I would tell people I had five fathers[Pop, Dick, Jay,Tommy in Heaven and Paul] everyone of them knew what was best for me but of course I never listened to their pain in the neck advice......Oh, how I will miss complaining and not letting then know how I did take a lot of what they had to say to heart. I will miss calling Jay when the worst has happened and hear everything will be alright in God's hands. My brother's have...

Jay was the best brother-in-law anyone could ask for and a great uncle to my children who lost their father when they were why too young. He was a inspiration to all who knew him as what in meant to be "Father of the Year". He made every Christmas special for all who stopped by his home. Jay was a big kid in the best sense of the word. He will be missed.
Love, Yvonne

Steve and McClatchy family,

So sorry and our prayers from our family go out to you. The headline on the obituary said it all, "Built homes and Family" Sounds exactly like my grandfather Frank McClatchy...and what a great family Jay built!!! Hoping that sound "foundation" comforts you in this difficult time of his passing and the incredible legacy he built!
