John Clary

James H. Clary was born in Iowa in December 1943.

He was an extremely private person from a hard-working family.

James lived on the family farm with his father, Orvelle McKinley Clary, mother, Mary King Clary and older brother, John Harmon Clary.

James's father's health conditions caused the family to move into the town of Indianola, where James lived except when he was in the military service in Viet Nam, where he was once even able to be reunited with his brother who was there with USAID.  When James returned he lived with and cared for his mother until her passing.

His nieces have fond memories of boating on the nearby lake when they were back in the U.S. on our foreign service leaves.

James hated the cold winters in Iowa, so he happily relocated to Lake Havasu City about twenty years ago.

He is survived by his sister-in-law, Barbara O. Clary,  and nieces Heather A. Clary and Hillary S. Hawkins and great niece, Penny K. Hawkins  and great nephew, O'Neil R. Silvestro all of Maryland.

He will be missed.
