Aunt Wanda, Meredith and family...
Uncle Clint was just one of the best! His laughter, his smile, his loving manner and his wonderful way will always be remembered as will be the love he had for all his family! I know he is "talking things up" with my Dad and they are watching over all of us.
Love you,
Sue & Steve Henderson

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY WARMEST THOUGHTS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I WORKED WITH CLINT AT DAMON PURSELL AND IT WAS MY PLEASURE IN KNOWING SUCH A STRONG CHRISTIAN MAN WHO LOVED HIS LORD AND FAMILY. HE WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AND NOW HE IS WITH THE LORD AND HAVINNG A BALL. MY FAVORITE THOUGHTS OF HIM ARE WHEN HE WOULD BRING SAM TO WORK WITH HIM AND THEN HOW HE WOULD JUST CHUCKLE AS HE WATCHED HIM. IN CHRIST JEANNIE

Dear Wanda, Meredith, Dave and children, we were so saddened to learn of Clint's passing, but we do take comfort in knowing he is now with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My father and his father were brothers and in my father's absence, Clint's parents were so good to me and my mother. I spent a good deal of time staying with Aunt Myrtle and loved her so. As a child growing up, I was always so proud that Clint was my cousin and I always thought he was absolutely the best looking man on the face of the earth! His signing voice was truly a great gift from God. Clint had a wonderful sense of humor and really enjoyed people - he and Wanda were a match made in Heaven. We will miss seeing him when in Kansas City and do wish we could be with you on Tuesday. God bless each of you, our love and prayers, Nancy & Dean Steriotis, Scottsdale, AZ.
