Marilyn,
I just learned of Clint's passing via a small notation in the Irem Temple newsletter. Learning of it at this late date doesn't make it any less of a shock.

You may remember that Clint recruited me into 3M back in the days that our part of 3M was called ThermoFax Sales. A long time ago.

My deepest condolences to you and the family. A personality such as Clint's will be missed for a long, long time.

God be with you!

To the entire family,

My condolences for your loss. There is never a time I didn't see him without a smile and a laugh. He was always pleasing others, often in my case, making sure I was selecting the best thing off the menu.

In My Prayers,

Clint Shaver was a marvelous man that had a glint in his eye and a story for every occasion. I wasn’t fortunate enough to be with him very often but when I was, I knew I had been around a very special person. Condolences to the Shaver family for their great loss.

Marilyn and family,
I send my deepest sympathy to all of you. I have such fond memories of Clint and my father (John Scholl) is going to miss him. He was such a good friend to my dad. Clint was one of a kind he would always have really good stories to listen to and Clint and my dad had many adventures in their days. I am deeply saddened by his passing and Marilyn you are in my prayers.

Marilyn and family,
Ryan and I were deeply saddened of the news that Clint had bassed away. Those feeling are shared by all of the people at the dealership. It was alway a joy to have him come to visit, and share his humor and upbeat nature. he was a unigue friend, and will be missed by all.

So much made up Clint's uniqueness: his ability to make everyone he met feel unique, too; the huge laugh that seemed to pull you into a bear hug; the way he'd do anything to help a friend; his unwavering optimism in matters large and small; his love of cars, like members of his family; his total devotion to his family. One thing for sure: if you had Clint as your advocate, you had it made.

Adieu, my friend. [And by the way, I forgive you for being a Republican.]
