I´m sad to hear of Bill´s passing and sending warm and comforting thoughts to the Clute family. I worked with Bill at University of Nebraska at Omaha and our offices were side by side for many years. As a result, we had nearly daily contact as we came and went. Bill´s love of his family, church, students, story-telling, puppeteering, and teaching were always at the forefront of the thoughts he shared. I´m no longer in Omaha, so had no recent contact with him, but I know that those who did will feel a huge gap in their lives. My thoughts are with those feeling that loss. Mary Ann Powell

Bill and Nancy were my neighors for over ten years and I missed them very much after I moved. They were such a wonderful couple and very dedicated to God, May they both rest in peace together once again.

Bro. Clute was an OUTSTANDING Sunday School Teacher, Brotherhood Member, Church Board Member, Sunday School Superintendent and leader of GBT's Christian Education Ministry!! He was also an OUTSTANDING Professor at UNO!!

It would take me writing a Book to tell everything I know about and/or my experiences with Bro. Clute (aka Dr. Clute, "George")!! However, here's a couple. Bro. Clute gave me a driving lesson on "How to Drive in the Snow" (or bad road conditions). He shared his lunch with me (Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich - my favorite kind of sandwich), when I worked for him at UNO while I was an Undergrad.
