Clinton Earl Riser (Kinky)

Clint served a few years in the Coast Guard during the Korean War. He enjoyed road trips to Reno with family, his passion for cars, boating out on the Puget Sound, all-you-can-eat buffets, and a good vanilla ice cream. Preceded in death by his loving wife Peggy Harvill parents Ruth Blakeway and Earl Riser. Public graveside services to be held at Tahoma National Cemetery on 02/09/26 @ 1 PM
