I am sad to hear about Mr. McClatchy's passing (sorry but that's still how I remember him from the P&J track days). He was always so sweet, supportive and just a calming presence. It's been many years since I've seen him but he had a positive impact on my life. Condolences and prayers!

You will be missed big brother, always in thoughts and prayers. Love you , sister Kaye
For you Frank and Kay. I met Him in Turkey(USAF), as he was assigned to "C" Co., for "ELINT" collection, 1 Mo. after me. He played Softball, and BB, for our squad. He was a fun Beer drinker, and he joined me and 2 others for a week ski vacation on the only Mt. in Turkey. We both learned to play "Bridge" there and drink German beer. He would sometimes ride along with me and 4 friends during our 4 day breaks, viewing countryside and Historic sites with in hours of our Base site. He talked a lot, was funny, but He was "Tough", and talked a lot about his PA. Family. From Turkey, we both got sent to JAPAN, Northern most tip of Hokkaido Island, cold and snow, snow more snow. Great tour for E. Collection, and good Japanese Beers. He was my roommate, and he talked a lot, and told me about his Family, prior employ, and fun with Al Mass(Shannahan). Said he had a Sister I would have to meet(I guess he was talking about (Kaye). I was discharged 1 Mo. before him, home to (OHIO-Go Bucks), and a mo. later, he came thru Ohio from Cal. driving a Thunderbird, to deliver to NYC. Stayed 1 night, I went with him, to drop off (Pay to deliver), by following him in Kaye M.'s car. Had met his Family, and Kaye, the day before. Stayed at McClatchy home for a while, and got to visit the Jersey Shore, for first time(yes-yes), with Al M., and always stayed with Ann Coachers. He was like a Brother hunted together, fished, golf, carpet, beer, Bridge Partner, against 2 Kays. He was a tough Man, good heart and Father. I am sure he is talking his ''shit" up there, and bet some are listening. Have a "Safe Trip''' my Brother. Larry R.
Sorry to hear of Frank’s passing! Condolences to Kay, Kara, Julie and Francis.
Remembering our experience with all of them, especially with cross country and track at Saints Phillip and James Parish in Exton, Pa. We shared many happy memories. RIP Frank
Frank was indeed a marvelous gentleman who gave Frank and me wonderful years of help with our plumbing issues. We always had great conversations and we will be forever grateful that our paths crossed! RIP Frank.
Allways there for me in all all ways!! My little brother!!
Uncle Frank was always very supportive of me. I can remember him taking me under his wing and giving good advice and support. Always looking out for family and community was easy for him. It’s what he enjoyed to do. I will miss his presence but know he’s at peace. To many more years of the McClatchy clan. With much love. Charlie Lester
Frank, I remember our conversations at your kitchen table in Milton, DE! They were always comforting ❤️ Your were a Strong & Encouraging person. You will be missed🙏
