So sorry to hear that my longtime friend that I grew up with in Concrete has passed away. He and I joined the Army together on the buddy system and went through basic and advanced raining together but couldn’t talked him into going to jump school with me. We did run into each other one time during a huge military exercise in South Carolina before he left the Army. Because I live in North Carolina, I seldom get back to Washington, but I think in 2003 was the last time I saw Clint and we had breakfast at the Iron Skillet. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace my friend.
Sue & family
Sorry for your loss, may god comfort you at your time of sorrow.
