Roger "Bucky" McCLURE

1935 - 2023

I would like you to know a little bit about Dad, Roger "Bucky" McClure. His mantra in life was all about delivering. He was delivered into this world March 29, 1935. He delivered stories, experiences ,humor, friend-ship, warmth, and a gregarious take on life. Sometimes Mom would have to deliver him back home after a night of delivering jokes, adult beverages and too much St. Patrick's Day ferver. He stepped up his delivering responsibilities during his Union presidency and advocacy. He tripled his delivery routes by sitting on the Board of Directors for the Postal Credit Union for many years, state arbitrator, DFL party; national, state and local delegations and various other boards. He delivered dedication and leadership in the national association of letter carriers branch #28 for close to 30 years. He delivered passionate speeches at the state capitol and our nation's capital and to anyone that would listen for labor causes. His delivering took a pause when MaryAnn, his wife and my mom and Michele his oldest and my sister heard that God needed a delivery and they heeded his request. His delivery of instructions continued on for me, Monique his daughter and Brad his son-in-law, Michele's kids, Jereme and Jessica and great grandkids Duante and Josie and his MANY MANY friends and family members. He believed himself to still deliver instructions to me and realizing that I too became a great deliverer he realized it was through snow, sleet, hail and rain to deliver through. I learned from the best! He managed to pick up a new package at a class reunion, Betty, which he also tried delivering instruction to. Dad made his last delivery, postage paid, on December 29, 2023 which will not be returned to me. He wishes for all to come and deliver stories with each other Saturday, January 6th at Grace Lutheran Church, 1730 Old Hudson Rd., Saint Paul (of course) 55106. Short deliveries at 10:30 with a longer one at 11:30. PS Did I mention while he was a Letter Carrier through and through for 37 years, he also had dedicated 10 yrs to the old Milwaukee Railroad!
