We are sad to lose our neighbor and friend. Cledon was bigger than life - friendly, outgoing, big-hearted, good-natured, happy - all the adjectives that mean "good." His speech and actions identified him as a Christian. The world needs more Cledons.
Our love to Barbara and family,
Alvin and Nadyne Lynn
