i loved him then, still do now, and always will. he is always in my thoughts of how great of a great grandpa he was. he yanked out one of my teeth and i didn’t even know it until he showed it to me. i hear great stories about him and when my dad had gone camping up to Rock Creek with him and a few other boys in our famile and when the bear went through their camp, grandpa Clark ran into his truck leaving everyone else. there is so much more to this great man, but way too many to name and list. i love you and you are always in my thoughts!!
Your Great Granddaughter,
Samantha T. Brown
I am so sorry. I have many fond memories of Rob and Clark growing up with their children in Garden Grove and visiting them on many occasions in Yucca Valley. He was a damn good man and I will pray for his family . Carol & Kevin Sianez
