I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I am honored to have known him and to have had him on my staff in Hawaii. He was a great patriot, a consumate professional, and someone who was always ready to help. The Navy and the ordnance community are better today due to his outstanding professionalism. He will be missed.

Dearest Clevenger Family, I had the privaledge of working with Tom over the last six years at NMC. He was always ready to help and never hesitated when asked for anything. You and yours are in my prayers, God bless you.

Great American, Great Sailor. Tom was a friend and a true shipmate who gave it his all. I for one will certainly miss his chuckle and humor. Thanks Tom for your Service to our great nation both while on active duty and serving as a civil servant. To Tom's family, God Bless you all and always keep the smiling memories of Tom in your thoughts. WR/ CAPTAIN Dave Lepard, USN (RET)

Dear Clevenger Family,
Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. I worked with Tom while he was at NMCCED; he will be missed. We will continue to pray for you and Tom.

Tom was a class act through and through, he was a professional who I had the privilege of working with when we were onboard ENTERPRISE together bringing her out of a Complex Overhaul/Refueling (circa 92-95), during the lead up to getting out of the yard Tom and I worked together while he had his weapons elevators worked on and I was getting the crews galley eating spaces up to speed. Although Tom was only a JG at the time his experience and counsel coupled with his sense of humor assisted...

RIP TOM-You are finally in "Hog Heaven", where you can continue to ride hard but safe. Will miss your intelligent conversation and wit. Your comrade, Dave Martin USMC Ret

Mrs Clevenger & Family,
I was a co-worker of Tom's when he came to MSC. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever known. I will cherish the memories I have of working and traveling with Tom, for the rest of my life. Please know that our thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. No words I could possibly say could ease your suffering, but I hope you find strength in the presence of Christ and comfort in His Love. If there is anything we can do for you, please don't...

RIP, Tom

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Tom. He was an amazing man and leader who lived life to the fullest. He was not only the kind of man people wanted to be, he was the kind of man people would be proud to be.
