James M. "Jimmy" Clarke

Just found out that Jimmy passed away. Knew him from the Boy Scouts,then we played football together in high school. He joins an ever growing group of friends from those years who have died. My condolences to his family.

The first hole at Misty Creek is not the same!!

I went to baldwin
high school with jimmy. Went a nice guy and handsome guy. Great football player too. I just found out Jimmy passed in 2018. My condolences to the clarke family and his wife too. I hope he was not in great pain

I have missed Jimmy Clarke on stage. As an Asolo season-ticket holder, I became a fan thanks to Jimmy Clarke. No other theater would do because it did not have him. It's been over 20 years now, and he is still synonymous with that place to me. I was on stage with him once as an extra in Inherit the Wind and got to meet him backstage. I saw him in The Crucible, The Count of Monte Cristo, Twelve Angry Men, and so many more. I knew something was wrong when he stopped appearing. I am sorry for the fight he had to endure, but I am sure he did so with the courage and life force he had brought to the stage. R.I.P.

when jimmy came to brookside school he was like a breath...no a blast...of fresh air. he was always getting the most out of life. he did his homework at the breakfast table while eating his corn flakes which made us almost late for school. he dressed in his boy scout uniform while watching the soupy sales show which made us almost late for the friday evening meetings. he let me ride his bicycle once and i got a flat tire and he didn't even blink. he was the epitome of strength and charisma. he wanted to be an actor and he achieved his ambition. he was simply the best!

I will miss Jim in our foursome boy did he love to smack that little white ball!!

Blessings and Go Bruins!!!

Just heard the bad news. One of my favorite friends and buddies from Baldwin. We had so many good times. Rest In Peace my friend. God Bless. Tommy Quinn.

Jim was a man's man. Loved his smile and laughter always made me feel special. God Bless you Jim

Jimmy and Patti were neighbors of mine in Beverley Hills during the 90s.
A beautiful couple inside and out, you wanted to be around them.
So generous of heart and fun to be around.
When I got married in 2002 they gave us their home in Australia for our honeymoon.
It was a paradise overlooking the ocean and coral reefs, amazing colourful birds that would visit timely each day.....
He loved Australia and lived life to the fullest.
It's been a long battle
Now you are free to fly ....

Blessings

So, this page has asked me what will I miss most about Jimmy. He was a bold direct talker and did not suffer fools gladly. But he also had a compassionate sympathetic side. Jimmy was a very global thinker. We had intelligent insightful discussions about the state of our country and the world. Jimmy fought a brave and courageous fight against cancer. For me he is the epitome of a fighting Irish man. Jimmy had a witty dry and some times wicked sense of humor. I never left his company with out a good laugh, I will miss that most.
