We¡¯re sorry to learn of the passing of Clancy I.? We have many fond memories of meeting him at Florida and Alabama conventions.? His humor and strong message of recovery will always be cherished.? When she told him she married a Norwegian, he¡¯d always reply, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry.¡±
RIP,

The very first speaker CD I heard was Clancy speaking in Ireland. I listened to it hundreds of times. His humor and the weight of his message opened up new vistas for my recovery. I am sober today in no small part because of this selfless man. He will be missed. It is now our turn to carry his torch. Thank you Clancy. Peace.?

Apropos I think--a letter from Bill on the death of Sybil C.'s brother tex
November 6, 1952
My dear Sybil,
Thanks for your letter of October 21st - it was just about the most stirring thing I have read in many a day. The real test of our way of life is how it works when the chips are down. Though I've sometimes seen A.A.s make rather a mess of living, I've never seen a sober one make a bad job of dying.
But the account you give me of Tex's last days is something I shall treasure always. I hope I can do half as well when my time comes. I am one who believes that in my Father's house are many mansions. If that were not so there couldn't be any justice. I can almost see Tex sitting on the front porch of one, right now, talking in the sunlight with others of God's ladies and gentlemen who have gone on before. I certainly agree with you that little was left in Tex's grave. All he had was left behind in the hearts of the rest of us and he carried just that same amount forward to where he is now. If you like what I've said, please read it to the Huntington Park Group. In any case, congratulate them for me that they had the privilege of knowing a guy like Tex.
As for you, my dear, there is no need to give you advice. How well you understand that the demonstration is the thing, after all. It isn't so much a question of whether we have a good time or a bad time. The only thing that will be asked is what we do with the experience we have. That you are doing well with our tough lot is something for which I and many others are bound to be grateful. This is but a long day in school. Some of the lessons are hard and others are easy. I know you will keep on learning and passing what you learned. What more does one person need to know about another!
Affectionately yours,
Bill? ??
Well said ! Thank you and may he Rest In Peace ?? Yes

Thom; you are fortunate to have benefitted directly from his E, S & H. Savour the memories. Please don't hesitate to pass on to the rest of us what you learned and treasure from that association.
My only opportunity to hear him was when he spoke at an ICAA; the room was overflowing by the time I attended. I did benefit by hearing some of his talks.

Thank you for sharing this sad news. Clancy's Bear Mountain Picnic and Disease of Perception tapes saved my life a little over 20 years ago. I must have listened to those two cassettes dozens of times.
I had the honour of meeting him once while visiting the Pacific Group in LA. I sent my sponsor a postcard, signed by Clancy. He didn't believe it was real and threw it away. His wife made him rescue it from their garbage when she realised what he'd done.
Just one of the thousands of people he helped that he never knew anything about. I sometimes played his tapes to friends not even in the programme. They thought he was hilarious, too.
Rest in Peace, Clancy. Thank you, sir. You changed my life.

My deepest sympathies. He was an amazing man and helped so many. Selfless giving. I was fortunate to hear him speak many many times. Thanks for letting us know. We are losing an entire generation of true gentlemen.
