Clancy served proudly in the National Guard in both California and Washington.

Clancy enjoyed golfing, hunting and fishing. In his younger years, he enjoyed coaching Little League, riding snow mobiles and motorcycles. In retirement, Clancy and Norma lived in Desert Center, California, coming up to Washington State for a few weeks in the summer.
