My deepest condolences to the Clancy Family.
I grew up in Pine Beach and remember Mr Clancy as the nice guy at the Pharmacy.
I had the pleasure to meet him and help him with some business this past year. He was the nice guy I remembered from my childhood. I will miss him.

Mr. Clancy was a kind man to me when I was a young new business person; he always threw some business my way when he really didn't need to.

I have known Mr. Clancy since I was six years old he was always a kind man, he would sit in the card shop and laugh and smile when i was playing the claw machine trying to get one prize I remember one night him bring a chair over for me to sti on cause I wouldnt leave till I got the prize I was after. He gave me my first job when I was 13 mowing the grass at his house and cleaning weeds around the store and being a stock boy when I got a little older I learned alot from him growing up and Ill always remember him for that. My prayers go out to his family and may he rest peacefully.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Clancy family. I remember Mr. Clancy when I was growing up in Beachwood and going to Clancy's Pharmacy. Mr. Clancy was a real nice man (even though I used to get yelled at by him for running in the store). He will be missed dearly.
