I miss you everyday.......Life is very different without you.

it was a special time, Jim and Betty were like my special parents.  Thanks for all the hard work Bev and Chris, and please if you need help with anything let me know

Over the many many years since our families became blended, I experienced Grandpa McCleery to always be a welcoming, sweet & kind man. May blessings surround those he loved & left behind to celebrate his long life.

From my perspective and as a former son n law, Jim was truly a sincere & great man.  Among other things, he & I loved watching football games together in the comfort of his home.  While watching football games with him over the years he would often say, C'mon son, have a beer!  And I would always say, Jim I don't drink.' 
He will sorely be missed.  My condolences to the McCleery family.

When I saw the photo in the San Diego Union-Tribune, I said to myself, I know that guy. (I worked for the Grossmont Union High School District)  Then, I saw the names, Beverly and Joel Jette; two friends of many years!  My condolence to the entire family, but, a special hug to Bev and Joel.  My thoughts are with you.  P.S. this is a restricted call

I will always miss the fun get togethers' we had at your house.  I've lost contact with Bev and Joel, would love to be there Sunday if I could get the address  Love you and Betty, RIP

We will miss you greatly grandpa. You always brought laughter, love, and lessons to our lives. I know grandma is happy to be reunited. Rest together is the arms of our Lord and Saviour!
