Have been reminded of the many unusual things that Clint "ordered". One classic was the animal clock that made the sound of pigs, cows etc at certain times of the day!

Donna and Debbie,
I will always remember his mischievous smile. The last time I saw him he wore that smile when called me a trouble maker! Holding you all tight in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Tracey and Vern
