Mr. Ron Clipp has been a dear friend to our family for over 15 years. He has been there whenever we needed a hand. He was a lively and very funny man. He would call me and tell me "funny" jokes at my Mom's when I was going through a tough time. It saddened me to hear of your loss and our loss. He was very special and we will miss him and Theresa dearly. With much love and prayers.
