I met Clive in 1966 at Judson Walker Junior High School 7th grade. We had a group of friends that hung out at McCoy AFB youth center. We were also at Oak Ridge and knew each other as adults and had mutual friends throughout our lives. I last saw Clive at our 45th ORHS reunion 2017. He was friends with my brothers Michael and Freddy Coto and attended Freddie's funeral in 1995. Clive was as most knew him very happy, funny and always a friend no matter how long had passed between visits or running into each other at the store or out at dinner. RIP my friend you're so loved, always missed and never forgotten. I pray you're in heaven smiling upon us all. Your friend Debra (Debbie, he called me) Coto Waldron

Very sad I'm out of state and unable to attend services.

I have many boyhood memories of Clive and his family. Fishing, hunting, and orange grove battles in an old car we converted into a dune buggy, underage drivers. As life has it we took our paths in life and on occasion we would reach out through reunions and phone calls. Our last conversation was in November discussing personal things and his future arrangements. I hugged my old friend and told him I loved him and he said I love you too. He said I will see you agin! Indeed my friend I hope we do!

We were fortunate to have gotten to meet Clive. He was a man that believed as I do, that sometimes its the littlest gestures in life, that can matter the most. Gone to young. He is know among the angels, that shine down on us. He will be sorely missed by all. Our Deepest Condolences to Carrie, Family, & Friends that loved him. RIP Clive.

Tom and I spent many happy hours laughing and getting to know Clive the past couple of years while he transformed our 1967 house, Some of the projects were tedious, difficult and complicated but he always figured out a way to solve it. I looked forward to seeing him every day and will certainly miss his stories, news analysis and wonderful humor. Our hearts go out to Carrie, the South Side Coalition, and his many friends and loved ones. We were so fortunate to have known him. Godspeed, my friend. Julia and Tom Lee

Our Deepest Condolences to Carrie and the Dunne Family,
Words can not begin to express the loss and sadness we feel over the passing of our life time friend Clive Dunne. As with many childhood friends, we may go months or even a year here or there without contact but regardless of the time, whenever we did see Clive, he was always the same cheerful Clive, he greeted us with a huge smile, a big hug, and he could always start up an easy, interesting conversation as if time had stood still since our last encounter. We are so thankful for the countless fun memories we have and all the great times we shared, if Clive was there you could always count on it being entertaining to say the least! As much as he was the life of the party he was also the sweetest most giving guy, always ready to lend a helping hand to any and all that knew him. Carrie our thoughts and prayers are with you. The last time we spoke you said you could not imagine this world without Clive Dunne in it. We can't either, and it's truly hard to believe he's gone. He will be missed by so many and definitely never forgotten!
Love and Prayers,
Tina and Paul Crabb

My frienship with Clive goes back to the 80's, we lost touch many years ago however when I looked at this picture the memories came flooding back, Clive was always smiling, always available and kind to everyone. I am saddened to hear of his passing, my condolences to his long time friend Carrie and his family/friends.

Blessings,

The Great Dundee....what a guy! Clive was a good friend and our "go to" guy for projects that needed to be done correctly. He was always busy but would find the time in between his larger remodeling projects. During a project, he would keep me entertained with his stories....he always had a story, interspersed by that Clive Dundee chuckle that we were all familiar with. Susan told me that her most fond memories of Clive was his sense of humor, his laugh and his positive attitude.
We are all better for having had Clive in our lives. Rest in Peace, old friend.
