Dear Jim and the entire McLean Family, ... So sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Was glad to hear that you all had some quality time with him before our Lord took him home. Your Dad was a great guy and I was so fortunate to have known him during the Benet and Purdue days. He always was interested in his family and the activities that all of you were involved in. Clarence and all of you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
