Message from Shani Hedden Palmer

Dearest Clinton--Thinking of you and Dennis today, and remembering all the laughter and good times we shared. I always looked forward to seeing you, and your sympathetic ear for my frustrations with the world of aviation were such a balm on my nerves. I can only imagine the riotously funny time you and Dennis are sharing up there in Heaven. Mother is doing well, though her deep sadness is palpable, and Kathy, Lindsay and the family are always on our minds. Kenny and I love and miss you. I'm so grateful to God that goodbye is not forever. Until we meet again, your sister-in-law, Shani

Message from Kathy Palmer

I just want to thank those of you who were able to attend Clint's service at Arlington last Monday. It was a visible tribute to him which made me very proud. It was also so nice to see/meet some of his Boeing friends. You made my heart a little lighter.

Kathy & Family,
Clint was in my prayers daily during his illness and my prayers and sympathy go out to you all. Clint was a positive and supportive influence to all he worked with at Boeing and he will be missed.

Message from Roger Hackler

Kathy and family,

I am so very sorry of learning of your loss. I had the honor to serve with Clint in the 2/159th and have many great memories of our times together deployed in Desert Storm. He was truly bigger than life, a role model, and a mentor. Peace be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Message from Kathy Palmer

I just want to let each of you know how very grateful I am for your expressions of sympathy and so many kind words and personal stories about Clint. I do find some comfort in them and find myself reading them over and over. I think he would be surprised to see how many people have responded but pleased to know he touched your lives in some way. This past three weeks have been hard - seems like much longer since I saw him and we could talk. Hopefully soon I will be able to focus more on the good times and less about his death. Thank you for helping me get to that point.
Kathy

Message from Ken Knoll

My condolences to the Palmer family. I had the pleasure to work with Clint at Boeing and he was one of the good guys. He was a great leader because he thought of others and always made it fun.

Message from Bill Hackett

Clint was a great guy. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years. When times were tough, we sometimes swapped people from my department to his and his to mine...as he was always concerned about others. We also served on a board concerning people's careers and he was always fair and insightful. We sometimes disagreed, but I ALWAYS resected his opinion and weighed it heavily. He was also a very personable guy and friendly no matter what his station or power. He will be missed very much. Sadly, I will not be able to pay my respects in person as I have moved to Maine recently, but my heart and mind will be with his family. Prayers to you my friend. Bill

Message from Jerry Reavey

Clint was a "Best of Boeing" kind of guy, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to work with on a daily basis. He was one hell of a good guy. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this time of sorrow.

Kathy and family,
I am so saddened to hear this, he was such a good person to work with here at the Boeing Company. I was lucky enough to work with him - and for him - while he was managing the CH47 Service Engineering department here in Philadelphia. He was always available to listen, and provide advice and direction in my career here. We had a good rapport right from the start, and I am blessed to have met him. I know he will be sorely missed, he loved his family so much and was so proud of you all - always showing the latest pictures of his grandchild(ren). Our loss is heaven's gain.

Message from Mary Ann Biller-Fischetti

Dear Kathy,

My heartfelt condolences to you, Lindsay and all of your combined families.

Clinton fought the good and courageous fight till he slipped away in peace. In person or in spirit and heart, you were always the faithful and courageous partner at his side.
Despite a time of heart wrenching loss, may you always be at peace in that knowledge. Clinton would want you at peace and soldiering on - with your family and friends at your side. Blessing on him, you and the family.

Love, Mary Ann

Sara and I send our deepest sympathy to you all. Clint was a bigger than life guy. His patriotism and service to his Soldiers is legendary and his friendship is etched in our memories forever. Matt sends his respects too and fondly remembers shooting hoops with Clint in Williamsburg and bantering back and forth in the process, both of them giving as well as they got. God bless you and your family in this time of great loss.
