Gary and Family,
Pat and I are deeply sorry for the loss of your Dad, Father and Friend. Our prayers will be said for you and your family over the loss of a very good man. God Bless you and your family and I’m sure your Dad will be looking down for his celebration on Monday.

Clinton’s love for his wife and family was something wonderful to behold. In spite of his illness his true spirit and heart always remained steadfast and true. I feel blessed to have had the pleasure to meet him and spend time with he, and his wife Norma.
God has Clinton home.

Norma and Jeanie (and family),
I was one of the nurses that took care of Clinton during his stay at Community North Hospital. What a blessing it was for me to meet him and hear about his stories of the war and the love for you (Norma)…I remember that he told me that you guys were married for 63 years…even through you told me that it had been 64 years.
I am the nurse that sat out in the lobby to talk to you guys when the news was delivered that you were going to place him in hospice. Very rarely in life do we run across people in our lives that touch us…but Clinton was one of them for me.
I greatly enjoyed making him CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES — which was about all that this kind and loving man would tolerated in his final days. I work weekends at Community North and when I came in on Saturday morning — I went to room 3330 — to see if Clinton was still there. Then I reviewed our books to see that he had passed. I had to take a few moments in our nurses break room to cry and say a pray for this man that truly touched my life. I was blessed to take care of him, and that we crossed paths in our lifetime. I am so grateful that I thanked him for his service to his country. He was so very proud of that he served for his country.
I know in my heart that Clinton is with God now and resting in the wonder of his glory.
My blessing now, is that you Norma and Jeanie (and his son — whom I didn’t get to meet) — have peace and comfort with only loving and fond memory of this truly remarkable man.
Be assured that one day we shall all meet again.
With deepest sympathy,
