Father Gerry Murray presided at the funeral Mass celebrating the life of Mike McClintock, who passed away suddenly on June 2. Clints’ wife, Cynthia, and their three children were grateful for the presence of large numbers of our Dartmouth family at the wake and Mass, including Mike Barrett, Peter Fowler, Don O’Brien, Winston Hutchins, Bill Finnegan, Jamie Ardrey, Dan Zenkel, Cornelia Purcell, Merle Adelman, Hans Morris, Boomer, Debbie Leggat, Sally Sandercock Michler, Jim Wilson, Wade Herring, Susan Fagerstrom, Jeff Citrin, Rob Ruocco, Katie Currier Small, Laura Guiliano, Buddy Ide, Regina Rehkamp Ketting, Lisa Shanahan, Mark Alperin and Ann and Grant MacEwan. “We are grateful to have known and loved this man whom we so miss,” noted Gerry in his homily.
To honor the spirit of a man who would rather us recount the lengthy list of classmates who paid their respects than his lengthy list of accomplishments for the class and the College, we turn to Bump: “What an inspirational life Mike led. We are all made better by the many wonderful people we have been fortunate to have in our lives. What a lucky group we were to arrive in Hanover that September in 1976. I continue to be amazed by what our classmates have done with their lives and especially what good, kind people they are.” Cheers, Clints.
