I just came across this obituary today. Mr. Clausen was my varsity baseball coach at Langley High School in the early 1970s. He was an inspiring example of excellence and service.

My deepest condolences to the Clausen family. Don was a very kind person whom I had the pleasure of working for at Annandale HS. May you find comfort in knowing all of the hearts he touched both personally and professionally. God bless you!
