I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Cletus. Cletus was one of the best volunteers at the Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen. He happily did the job that nobody really wants to do - washing the dishes! During my time as Executive Director of the soup kitchen, Cletus and I had many interesting discussions about lots of issues. I learned from him, respected him, and most importantly, was grateful to call him my friend. Rest in peace my dear friend. May your family find comfort in the memories of a great man. Jill Ebbert
