On Monday, Oct. 4th, 2004 Thomas Cummings Clinch passed away after an extended illness. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Tom was born in Helena on Sept.28,1961. He attended Hawthorne Elementary School, C.R Anderson Junior High and Capital High School where he graduated in 1980. Following his graduation Tom entered Montana State University- Bozeman and in 1985, received a bachelor's degree in business finance with a minor in economics.

After completing college, Tom returned to Helena and put his skills to work at the Montana Dept. of Commerce. During his five years with the Department, Tom received numerous promotions and was recognized for his contributions to the administration of the agency.

Tom was always hard working, ambitious and looking for a challenge. In 1990, he moved to Spokane to become the director of finance for QualMed Washington Health Plan. He returned to Helena in 1997 to take over as the chief operating officer of the New West Health Services. Most recently, he founded Northwest Health Transformation.

In 1991, Tom married his best and dearest friend, Paula Harvey of Helena.  In 1998, their daughter Lauren was born, and son Ryan followed in 2001. Paula and the children were an inspiration for Tom, and he took great pride in his family.

Tom was a good man with an incredible spirit and a phenomenal sense of humor. From his early years as a member of the "Hawthorne League" with his brothers and friends, throughout his personal and professional relationships. Tom stood out for his intelligence, his wit, and his kindness. Any discussion with Tom--- from New York Mets baseball to liberal Democratic politics-- was a pleasure that went far beyond hearing his perspectives on the subject matter.

Tom is survivied by his wife, Paula and thier children, Lauren and Ryan all of Helena: His Mother Margaret Clinch of Helenal; brothers Anthony, of Woodbury,Minn., Frank and Edward of Helena, Casey, of Linwood, Wash., and Walter of Austin Texas; sisters, Margie, of Missoula Mt, Bridgett, of Helena, and Angie, of Denver.

Ray was born in Anaconda Nov. 29th, 1962 to Art and Donna Hunthausen, the fifth of eight chldren. He lived life to the fullest and packed more into his 47 years than most do in twice the lifetime.  He graduated from Capital High School in Helena,MT in 1981 and attended Carroll College. He married the love of his life, Tori Kall, on May 18th, 1985; they recently celebrated thier 25th wedding anniversary. Two beautiful daughters were born to Ray and Tori- Jacqueline Chiristine and Allison Marie, both of Helena.

While still in high school, Ray began working at Bill Roberts and in 1985 he began working at Green Meadow Country Club. Over the next 25 years he took his lifelong love of golf and made it his career. From assistant golf pro to head golf pro and general manager, Ray was instrumental in completing the master plan that developed GMCC into the premier golf course and country club it is today.  With a smile on his face and a joke in his back pocket, he mentored young golfers no only in the game of golf but, more importantly, in the game of life.

One of Ray's many passions was the Harrington/Hunthausen cabin at Canyon Ferry Lake-  "Lake Serpent Lodge."  Ray greatly enhanced the cabin site, but Ray and John sometimes spent more time staging fake accidents than working.  Many "sea creatures" came to life under Ray's hands as a wood carver. Mountians, water, family and friends provided Ray with many opportunities to share his other great gift-- of master storyteller. All he needed was a glass of chardonnay, his legs crossed and someone to listen. Mr. Raymond also relished time alone at the cabin, working on projects with the ultimate goal of making the lake experience the best it could be for everyone else. 

Though Ray could charm any one at any age,"my Tor, my Jac, and my Bergz" were the apples of his eye. He lent his hand to anyone who needed it and could do, make, or fix whatever was needed.  There is not a topic or subject foreign to Ray's interest, be it his dog, jet skis, golf courses, building construction, wine tasting, travel, hiking, history or politics. In fact he read the entire set of encyclopedias at age 10...well, so said Ray.

Ray was preceded in death by his mother, Donna(Kane) Hunthausen adn infant brother, Joseph Gerard Hunthausen.

Ray is survivied by his wife, Tori, and his daughters Jacque and Alli Hunthausen; his father, Arthur R Hunthausen of Helena; his brothers Mark (Pam) of Helena and Paul (Patti) of Helena; his sisters Kim Hart (Mik) of Olympia, Wash., Lynn Smigaj (Dave) of Helena, Mary Ternes (Dave) of Helena, Lisa Kalbfleisch (John) of Whitefish, Amy Lavin (Steve) of Kalispell; and many other exstended family members.

Ray will be deeply mssed and present in the hearts and laughter of those who knew and loved him- and as Ray would say: IT WAS GRAND!
