    Dear Jay and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was very dear to our family. Doug and Bart always enjoyed the mentoring from your dad via FFA, 4-H and VoAg classes. Your dad was very supportive of me in Boy’s 4-H. My parents loved your father. He was a wonderful friend to them. Hope your family finds comfort in knowing how much your dad meant to so many. With sympathy for your loss, Susan Kelly Hunter

    Harold was such a kind man always with a smile. Being a teacher he influenced the lives of many. His son, Ned, was in my class at Clinton Central. May God comfort Harold’s family and friends in his loss.

    I have fond memories of Mr. McKinney. He was the Ag teacher at Cutler High School when I was in high school and he was our class sponsor. He always attended our class reunions and will be missed. Condolences to the family and friends he leaves behind.
