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 left me with three wonderful sister-in-laws, my sister and a hugh family....I am truly blessed. My Love to all of you, Penny, Aunt Penny which ever fits

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!

JayBird what a wonderful Uncle you were. Of all my uncles, you were the only one that was always upfront and genuine,no baggage was ever added. More than just being my uncle you were my weeked Dad, as I think I spent every weekend of my life at your house. And on every weekend I learned and grew so much in my life! The beauty of death is that now, I can be with you everyday in my heart.
Love,
Bev

Kay and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. I was so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. You, Jay, Mary Kate, Sally, Tommy and Joe especially were a big part of my life when I first got out of college and out on my own. I don't know if I ever told you how much all of you meant to my sister Cathy and I. You and your entire family will always be in our hearts and in our prayers.
Steve and Pat Gilligan and family.

Knowing only 1/12th of the McClatchy children is enough to know that Jay McClatchy was a great man. My sincere condolences to Mrs. McClatchy and to all of the children and grandchildren. You are in our family prayers.

I didn't know Jay but I know that my parents did and I heard wonderful things about him.
He has a McClatchy smile that reminds me so much of my dad.
God Bless.
