I would like to thank everyone who has contributed fond memories of my grandfather, and expressed warm wishes towards our family. As one of his eldest grandchildren, in my time, I did not fully appreciate the scope of people he has reached. I knew he was well regarded, very well liked, and most importantly Loved. What I have learned is that he truly served others. I'd like to encourage anyone who comes across this page to please share their memories.

Seems like only yesterday spending time with him & DUCK in the disciple office. Thinking BACK it was NOT so much fun. BUT it made me a BETTER MAN & person for having met "CLINT EASTWOOD" as he was affectionately known among us. He was a HARD but FAIR man and wheather we lke to admit or not, we are BETTER people for having met him. May his memory live on.
GOD BLESS & carry you thru this difficult time
