Donald Rodney Clapp

Dear Dad,
I know you are in Heaven now reading this. I just wanted to let you know how much you meant to me. You were always there for every event in my life, as well as your grandchildren's. I will miss our walks at the dog park with "the boys", riding bikes and sitting outside watching the birds in Michiganand doing facetime with Jalen. That always brightened up your day. We never had one argument or cross word. I'm so lucky to have had you for a dad. Love, Your Little Girl, Terri.

Don Clapp was a wonderful man. I will never forget the many hours our families spent together on Glacier Avenue in Juneau AK. My love and prayers to Adrienne, Terri, Steve and their families.

Thank you to everyone at the YMCA for your outstanding friendships to my grandpa. I read Beths comment about feeling like you knew us, i could not help but feel the same about all of you. He spoke of his friends at the Y very often and the YMCA has truly been a huge blessing to him. He had many people he cherished and I feel so touched at the love and support he had in return. Thanks again!

I didn't know Don personally, but from what I've read and heard about him I know he was a good Man to anyone who crossed his path. My prayers are with this family in there time of sorrow. Rest In Love!!!

Don is one of the founding members of our senior classes here at the Central YMCA. He also served on our advisory board at our Central YMCA. He is beloved by our members, staff, volunteers and especially the children here at YMCA who called him Papa Don. Our Y family is grieving along with Adrienne, Steve Clapp and Debbie, Terri and Steve Morris his grandchildren, Jeff Shahidullah, Lisa Morris and Jack Clapp as well as his great-grandson, Jalen Shahidullah. Although we may not have ever met you personally, we all feel like we have through the pictures and stories Don shared with all of us. I will miss Don greatly and feel blessed to have been able to know such a wonderful man.
