Hello All, It is with great sadness today I have to announce that Jim Clara died on Saturday afternoon. He was only 49 years old. He had been ill for some time but in the last couple of months he was diognosed with cancer. His family were with him at the end and he died peacefully. He will be cremated and his ashes will be scattered at the Big Sur, a place that Jim loved to be. There will be a memorial service soon and I will keep you posted. He will be sadly missed by the modelling community. Jeff McGahey

Fellow sculptors, I have had the opportunity to work with Jim both as a co-worker at Volkswagen of America and as his manager at General Motors. In both instances he has been an ambassador to the sculpting community. His enthusiasm and natural ability offered trainees a perfect insight into the world of automotive design modeling. With his friendly and positive attitude towards any project, it made him the ideal candidate to ease any new sculptor into their position on their first day at work. Life is cruel, he is a big loss to our community My condolences go out to his family and friends on this very sad occasion, he will be greatly missed. Steve Austin
