Mr. Clancy was one of my very favorite teachers. He always cracked me up when he recommended “hot dog water” as the universal cure-all! I just mentioned that to my granddaughter a few weeks ago. His chemistry class was my favorite in all my high school years. I never forgot him even after 52 years❤️

Mr. Clancy was my science teacher in middle school. Without going too much into it, he intervened in my life in a way that saved me. He was the only adult who saw clearly what was happening and he helped me get to a safer, much better future. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to thank him personally. I hope his family can take some comfort from this appreciation now. May he rest in peace.
