Clifford Wayne Trow

My heartfelt condolences to Sen Trow´s family and to all who knew and loved this gentle giant of a man. I knew him for my entire political career, as he welcomed me to service leading the Commission for Women and later, in my work for public education. I know he was a mentor to so many of us, and much beloved. I feel fortunate to learn from his leadership and heart. RIP, Cliff.

Diane Merten extends respect and appreciation for all that Cliff and Jo Anne accomplished together. I am sorry I was out of town and unable to attend the service this morning. To the family and friends: may the Lord Jesus Christ help bring a sense of peace to your hearts. With love and gratitude for all that was contributed to Oregon in so many ways, Diane Frischknecht Merten

We are saddened by Cliff´s passing and extend our heartfelt condolences. I worked for Senator Trow during a legislative session in the early 80s. He was a kind, caring and patient friend and mentor. He touched the lives of so many people. Debi and I were blessed by our friendship with Cliff and Jo Anne.

TO our most Honorable Public Services Leader, friend, professor, ... Cliff Trow, your passing is a big loss to all of us in the Corvallis area. We will remember you in our heart forever!!!!

I knew Cliff at OSU, toward the end of tenure. Although I never took one of his classes, I volunteered on Cliff's final two campaigns. That was a good investment for a good man and great friend of education, OSU specifically.

Hey, he was a good man. Was a student in his classes during the late 60's. He made Oregon a better place and my life richer for having known him.

I had the pleasure to be in Professor Trow's seminar on Latin American history. What a great teacher! Between him and Glenn Dealy in the Political Science department OSU had the the strongest cluster of Latin Americanists in its entire history.

Cliff was very special. I appreciated most his advice. He was never shy of telling me when I had "egg on my face". He was my mentor.
