Harry Clay McCreary, BBA ’50, passed away on April 25, 2025, at age 98. He served in the US Army’s 88th Division in Italy and was a snare drummer in the Michigan concert and marching bands under William D. Revelli. He embraced the “Revelli Attitude” of continuous improvement, often sharing that he played snare drum in the 1948 Rose Bowl. In Indiana, PA, he worked in his family’s tire business, leading the development of specialty product lines that continue to thrive. He was pivotal in establishing uniform standards for tire load capacity and tread wear. McCreary was also known for his humorous industry-related poems and songs, such as "Mary had a little tire, it failed her one day; her tire dealer’s still around, but Mary’s far away…". An accomplished aviator, he held various pilot ratings and logged over 3,000 flying hours. He taught pilot training ground school to ROTC cadets, served on the local Airport Advisory Commission, and held executive roles with the National Business Aircraft Association. His wife and family miss him deeply.
