I would like to extend my deepest consolances and sympathies to the Clodfelter family. He was my first love, and I still love him, and will so,forever. I thought I would have time to reunite with him one day. I told him when I was 13 that I would wait forever for him, I guess I will have to wait now for the afterlife! He has touched my heart and soul more so than anyone will ever know! He will be missed tremendously. My soul now feels like there is a hole in it! I love you Dirk!!!

Dear Tina and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Dirk. I just found out today and wanted you to know that my prayers are with you and your family. He was a good friend back in the good ol' days! So handsome and such a good drummer, too! I'm sure he will be missed greatly. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Your Friends, Cheryl, Mike, Nick and Jacob

Dear Gloria, I cannot express in words the sorrow I feel at the loss of your precious, beautiful boy. I am so sorry I am just finding out now and it is too late to honor his memory by being at the visitation or service. We grieve with you and may our prayers rain down on you. God has him now. We love you. Betsy Kloeckener, Dan, Daniel and Reis

It's been years since I've had personal dealings with your company, but I knew Jim and remember dealing later with Tina & Dirk. Sorry for your loss. My faith teaches you will see him again.
Take care, K.C. Hoffman

To both families,
Dirk was such a great guy and a great friend! It's tough to know another brother of your highschool class is gone, I'm sure he was a great additive to your lives.
God bless you.

Tina and family, Dan and I are so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing Dirk is at peace now with our Savior. Dan will always cherish the memories he and Dirk had growing up. Love to all, Dan, Vonnie and Tyler Spindler

Tina, you and your family have my deepest sympathy. I first met you, Dirk, and your dad when I was the courier for Prince Gardner. I watched you two grow up. Knowing that Dirk and his dad are running the printing presses in heaven, should give all of us a good feeling that our names are going to be spelled correctly when our time comes. Peace. Jeri (Lowry) Rider, Pevely MO.

I want to pass on my condolences to the Clodfelter and Schad families for your loss. I remember meeting Dirk many years ago in Middle School and he was always one of the cool kids. I still have the memory of him beating on the drums and playing in bands. I know he will be missed by many and I hope the good times will be what is remembered by us all. Best of luck through this tough time.
Best regards,
Tom
