JoAnn and Norma, so sorry to hear of Clinton's passing. He was always a good classmate at Streeter High and one of a few classmates I was able to keep in contact with. It seems whenever I got to the Buffalo supper he was there and if it hadn't been for Covid would have seen him at the Alumni reunion last summer. God's Peace and Comfort to you and your families.
