I am so sorry for the loss of this great man. He saved my life in 1970 and it was his experience in the service that gave him the knowledge.

My prayers and sympathy go out to those who grieve the loss of Dr. Clodfelder.

I know each, and everyone of you will cherish memories of him for a lifetime (no one will ever take those memories away) I truly hope it will bring all of you less sadness and more joy when you continue on with the traits he is taught you Wish upon a star at night and think of him... It warms my heart to have known such a fine MAN!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

In 1975 my uncle was taken to Butterworth after having a cerebral hemorrhage. He spent weeks in ICU. Dr. Clodfelder saved his life. An amazing doctor. My deepest condolences to his family.
