Dear Arlene & Glenn,

It was sad to hear of Clete's passing.



Many years ago I was your neighbor next door. I have fond memories of my time with both you and Clete.



I'll never forget Clete introducing me to a fried egg & onion sandwhich chased with a fresh Gin & Tonic on a hot Saturday afternoon.



My prayers are with you. You and Clete were very much apart of my young adult life back then. He will be missed.



May God Bless.

Arlene & Family;

We worked together at Demford Mfg. Co. Cletus was a great man, I'll never forget the year he dressed up as Santa Claus for all the employee children, my son included. Cletus was always the life of the party and he will be missed greatly.
