Pop as I called him was a wonderful Father in Law.  He was one of my biggest supporters when I was going through a rough patch in my life.  I will miss hearing him say “I love you dearly” every time we ended a phone conversation.   I love you Pop and thank you for always believing in me.  

Although we met in the twilight of our years he was a true gentlemen.  When he said, “I love you, he said I love You Dearly.” He also said I love you dearly to each of his children,  grandchildren and great grandchildren.
I knew he loved me when Dan started to take me to meet  his family. 
 When he proposed to me I responded haven’t we both been married enough times, and he responded, I want to marry you!  We took an October trip to Paris and Normandy and this trip was our honeymoon.   I agreed as long as it would be before my 80th Birthday in September.  He said okay we well get married in August in Fresno.  You will fly down and we will go to the courthouse and get married.  We were both so happy.  
All my children and grandchildren felt close to Dan because of his kind ways, even my little Yorkie Bella fell in Love.  
We had planned on taking many more trips but he was taken from me too soon. 
I will never forget you! 
I miss you everyday! 
Daniel Evan Clawson my only wish is we had more time together.
I Do Love You Dearly. 
Charlotte

A very nice person and very positive.  Always enjoyed bumping into him at CIT or on campus.
