Bruce E. Clingan

One Saturday afternoon when I was still in High school, we went to the QFC grocery store in Bellevue, WA. We were waiting for my mom when my dad got out of the station wagon and said he would be right back. He walked to the sidewalk in front of the wagon and started talking to a man who was standing next to a store front, probably waiting for his wife too. The two men obviously new each other well as they talked away the time with some enthusiasm. After a while, my dad came back and took...

I was saddened to hear about Bruce and have been thinking about him and his family a lot since his death. He and Dottie were such gracious hosts as I passed through on my way to Alaska in 1981. I was glad to get to know both of them and to meet his daughter Carol for lunch at the Space Needle! We were blessed with his visit to Minneapolis recently in May 2002 for the funeral of my father, Palmer Rogers, his cousin. I will remember him for his appreciation of the outdoors and his love of fly...

Uncle Bruce was a model and an inspiration to me. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

I first worked with Bruce in 1960, soon after I joined the Boeing team. He was a great mentor and friend to me over the years, and always had time to share his engineering insight. He was a valuable asset to the Boeing Company and a great friend. I would like to express my condolances to his family.

For all of us who worked with Bruce for those many years, he contributed so much, enriching our professional and personal lives beyond measure. He is remembered and sadly missed.

Elliott Brogren, Boeing 1960-1995

As a fellow engineer at Boeing I remember Bruce as always friendly, soft spoken, and unassuming, but with an underlying tremendous energy and drive. He was always open and ready to help or answer questions. To his family, please accept my condolences.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of mourning.
