Dear Sister Clove,  I remember Elder Clove from our time in the England Central Mission.  Elder Clove was a wonderful missionary then and I am sure now is for our Savior as he prepares for your future time when you will be together again.  I admire his professional life's accomplishments you shared together along with your service to the Lord as a couple in the many opportunities listed.  I always admired your husband as one of the older missionaries at the time he was there and share with you my deepest condolences at your temporary separation.  With love in the Gospel,  Steve Kramer ECM 67-69, LTC, Ret, USAR

I just heard about the passing of Elder Clove. My heart goes out to you and your family.  We served in the same mission in England. He was one of the most spiritual Elders there. He was a great example of how to teach and live with the spirit. I will always remember his example.  Give your family my condolences. Mae Pugh Wilson

Sister Clove,
I was a companion with Elder Clove in England in 1969 in Northampton. I have always wondered why he was not at mission reunions. Now I understand you were a long ways from Utah. 
He and I had a special experience in Northampton with a Bro and Sister Bruley. If you would like to know about it, email me...bobllewellyn@cox.net. I am truly sorry about his passing and pray that you will be sustained by your temple covenants at this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened to learn of CAPT Clove's passing.  The depth of his humanity was remarkable and touched so many lives.  My condolences to the Clove family during this difficult time.

President Clove was one of the few people i trusted he always gave me a firm handshake...i never heard him say a negative word about anyone...i remember when i wanted to leave the LDS Church he listended to me and encouraged me to stay in the faith...RIP President Clove...

President Clove was our Stake President while we lived in Chula Vista.  There was no question he was going to be called to be the Stake President when Pres Duncan was released.  He was a very kind and spiritual man.  I feel so bad for his sweet wife.  He will be missed.

There was not a better, more decent man.  We would all be fortunate to be so remembered. I can still see his smile. Our peace and sympathy to the Clove family. Don and Pat Guter

CAPT Clove  was my first Commanding Officer.  I feel blessed to have known him and to have had him as one of my first mentors while on active duty. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.

It was with a heavy heart I learned of Ron's passing.  I had the privilege to serve with him in the Navy and honor to call him shipmate and friend.  He left a legacy in the many, many lives he touched with his gentle and caring spirit.  I count myself among that number.  Prayers surround his family.

My deepest and most sincere condolences on Ron's passing.  He was one of the most decent and good men I have had the privilege to know.  He was a a valued mentor and colleague.  May Ron rest in peace, and may God admit him into the light of his eternal presence.

I will miss his leadership and friendship.  My thoughts are with the Clove family.

Such sad news.  I had the good fortune to work with CAPT Clove in Holy Loch.  He was a wonderful mentor and one of the kindest people I have ever met. He will be missed.  My condolences to the Clove family.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing.  I always enjoyed working with him and appreciate all his mentorship 
throughout the years.  He will be missed!  Many prayers for his family!

Sorry, to hear about Ron's death.  I always had great respect and admoration for him. I enjoyed working with him in Iceland.  

Les Holden,

I and my family have many tender feelings about Ron and all of his family, living next to them for many years.  They are truly a great example to all that know them.

We were so sorry to hear that Ron has passed.  Please know our thoughts and prayers are with your family.  To this day, we frequently and fondly recall our time together in Rome.  Ron was a fantastic boss and a great friend.

On behalf of the George Clove Family, we send our deepest condolences and love.  We knew Ron best as a youngster, but he remains an affectionate part of our hearts.  We regret the time we do not have to further enjoy our relationship.

It is with great sadness that I learned of Ron's passing.  He exemplified civility, honesty, and ability.  I greatly admired him and used him as a model of what I aspired to be.  I valued the years we worked together and am richer by the experience.  My prayers are with you and your family.

Ron was a noble gentleman in the finest sense of the word. A great leader, lawyer and Naval Officer.  The JAG community was a better place because of Captain Clove.

It has been an honor and a pleasure serving with Ron these past five and half years at Navy Region SW.   We will all miss him greatly, but his impact on us will be felt for years to come.  My deepest sympathy to a great family during this difficult time.

Marianne-I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such an incredible man.  He was my first CO in San Diego and was such an influential leader, mentor, and role model.  I learned so much from him about being a good officer, leader and taking care of those around you, your Navy family.  Our Navy family has suffered a great loss.   God bless you and your family and provide you comfort.

Ron was not only my boss here at work, but a friend as well. He always was the calm in the storm, and passed on sound advice and encouragement for work or personal matters. I loved his humor, stories, and his laugh. I will miss him.
I pray for God's blessings and peace on the family....know that he had a positive influence in my life

We pray for Ron's eternal rest and for your peace.  May God bless you.

Marianne, we are heartbroken to learn of Ron's passing.  Besides being a wonderful person, he was also a great naval officer and leader - loved by all who knew him.  I had nothing but respect and admiration for Ron.  We will miss him. The world is definitely a better place because of him.

Thinking of your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort and strength from Gods love and grace.  2 Cor. 5:1-8
