Having purchased many pieces of Clore furniture, I am saddened by this great man's death. I did have the opportunity to meet Mr. Clore on
several occasions and was so impressed by his gentle ways. He is now resting and at peace. My sympathy to the Clore family.

Uncle Nat and Aunt Margaret both have a special place in my heart. Hugh and I lived in the little white house at MeeMaw's when we first married and would often walk to Uncle Nat's house. We rarely left without fresh fruit or vegetables from the garden or without him trying to give me a stool or clock that he had made. We learned alot from both of them during those visits.

Uncle Nat was an extraordinary man! He was heroic (he saved the life of his grandson twice),hardworking, generous, kind and a true artisan. He spent decades fashioning beautiful furniture. It was an honor to be his niece and to know him. I love you Uncle Nat.

Dear Uncle Nat: I will always appreciate the excellent furniture made at your factory. You and Aunt Margaret were the greatest cooks. One of my favorite childhood memories is canning various fruit on hot summer days.
