I grew up with Clint and his brother Dave. Clint was 2 years younger than me but I remember clearly how he was always a ball of energy as a kid. It seemed he was in perpetual motion all of the time. And always with a big mischievous grin on his face too.
As years go by after graduation, people move on and lose touch. But I don't think we ever forget the kids you grew up in your neighbourhood with. So many memories of riding bikes, playing street hockey, walking home from school together etc.
Imagine my surprise when a reconnection with Clint occurred through our own kids becoming classmates in preschool. It was a treat to reminisce of our younger days with him. He still had that same smile and it brought me right back to childhood.
It is with profound sadness that we have to let go of a special man who was clearly a large part of his boy's activities and shared his passions with his family.
Michelle, Logan and Colby, I hope you are comforted in the knowledge of how well-liked Clint was to so many people. Of how anyone whose life was touched by his, they recognized his warmth, his sense of humour and his love for you.
My heart goes out to you at this time.
