James F. Cleary (1947-2009)

An aside from the traditional posts here. On Sunday, April 19th, 2009 my father passed away at the age of 61. An avid sportsmen and all around outdoorsey guy - I got all my boloney nature from him.

On pitching seas, where he belonged

At the pistol range - Christmas eve - '07

Back on dry land with his catch - November 2004

Showing me how a real man shoots - November 2008

The whole gang, out east, circa July 4, 2006

If anyone was thinking of doing flowers or any of that frou frou crap (something old man Cleary definitely was not a fan of), we'd ask that in lieu of that you make a donation to Saint Vincent de Paul Society - a charitable org which helps people in emergency need situation in our local community. Any checks can be made to: SVDP Society, C/o st Joesph's church, 1346 Broadway, Hewlett, NY 11557
