Dearest Ted and Jean, we are crying, too, after hearing about the passing of your beloved Clint. The first time we met him and you was in Germany, when Ted and Larry were stationed there. We especially remember how Clint was always so proud of being an "Altar Boy" in the Protestant Services and always sought to do so with great responsibility and reverence.
Please always count on us to be there for you all. In Christ, Larry and Suzanne
