Clint was the first person I met at the harbor. All of my association with the GSL is descended from that chance meeting. Clint was warm, friendly, and encouraging. Once, I had the privilege of assisting him with a search and rescue during a Tooele Twister. Everybody got back to the harbor safe and sound thanks to Clint's dedication, professionalism, and deep knowledge of our inland sea. I will truly mourn his passing.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.

May the words written in the bible for our comfort strengthen your saddened heart during this emotional time (Matthew 5:4).
