To our precious Aunt Nellie, Kylen, and Nadeen, Uncle Bill was the most amazing, fun, kind, generous and loving person we have ever had the pleasure of loving. We are so thankful to have been allowed to have him here on this earth for so long. I know that grandma (Grace McLean) is now having a good laugh with him in heaven as he shares one of his infamous jokes. The last story she shared with me before leaving this earth was about Uncle Bill bringing her a dead possum and expecting her to clean and cook this. I think it was all a joke but either way he had a great laugh and she told a great story about it. We love you all so much and thank our heavenly father that you are ours! Greg and Rose McLean

My sincere condolences to the family with the loss of Mr. Cloer . Sue and I did not know him personally, but we have heard Kylen speak of him on numerous occasions and feel as though we did know him. Kylen and Patsy are good friends and again we are sorry for your loss.
