Not sure what to say?

Mr. McClarey was a great teacher and many of his former students at Edinburg will miss him. Also our prayers are still going up for his wife, Carole and and the rest of his family. Also many of Edinburg residents knew their son Steve because of him teaching also at Edinburg.

Steve I was so shocked to just now learn of your dad's accident and passing. THere was not a a finer nor talented gentleman I ever knew. I'm so glad that we were an important part of his early life in Edinburg and all the wonderful visits we had in future years. I hope your mom can recover from all her injuries. SHe is also such a wonderful caring person. MY deepest sympathies. to you and our siblings. God's blessings to you all

John was a gift to our world! He was kind, brilliant, creative, and generous with all his talents. I´m thanking God for his life, and holding his dear family in my heart.

A man of few words with much to say. With all of his many gifts; he, like Carole, was always first a teacher. I can´t imagine him not being in our world. I can feel my mother softly crying for her friends and the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Roger and Sandra Bosomworth.

May Flights of Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest. Amen.

My prayers and condolences are sent for the family and especially his wife Carole. May God´s healing hands be on her for comfort during this time.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
