Sandy and family-
Wanted to let you know that i'm thinking of you during this difficult time. I very much enjoyed working with Clint. He was always willing to work hard with me for every Occupational Therapy visit. He always welcomed me into his home and was always interested in knowing what was going on with my children. He was a very loving person with a great heart. He was a true fighter and always worked hard to rally back. I will truly miss one of my most favorite clients of all time to work with. Take care. TeriSue(Occupational Therapist with Nurse Force.

Clint was a special man. I have many sweet memories of him, especially with Helen. Even after Helen's dementia had gotten pretty bad, he would still make the effort and drive over to see her. He told me he was in it for the long haul and he meant it. He did his best to take care of her whenever she was sick just as he did with his wife. He was just a nice guy. He reminded me of Tim Conway's impression of the little old man. It took him a long time to get anywhere but he didn't give up. It was so cute when he got up to kiss Helen good bye. He shuffled over to her chair and then inch by inch bent down (always looking like he would topple over)and ended up giving her a one second kiss. They were so cute together. I also remember how much he loved Gigi and how he never thought she did anything wrong.
Clint was a principled, loving and caring man with a great sense of humor.
I was honored to know him.
