Oh my goodness, when I think of dear sweet Mr. Clawson, I smile. When I would be delivering the mail< he would stop and tell me jokes all the time. Some of them I could take home and share with others. Yet, there were some that would make my face turn red, and I could not repeat them! But, oh how he helped so many people by his humor and his genuine concern for other people. He is making so many other people grin ...just thinking about him.. He will be so missed!##imported-begin##hazel raddatz(lakeside mail carrier for a long time)##imported-end##

I'm a cousin, you wouldn't remember. My grandmother was Anna Clawson who married Jacob Welsh. My father, Roy Welsh, lived with James Clawson for awhile, when he moved to Muskegon from New Jersey. I grew up on 687 Southern Ave. (next to the highway). When I was young, we visited Aunt Tillie alot. I remember sitting on Floyd's lap when he returned home from WW2 and singing PLAYMATES and YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE to him. I'm not sure I remember Kelly, but I know I met most of the Clawson family when I was little.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss.##imported-begin##Marion Welsh Van Winkle##imported-end##

I am sad with you during your time of loss. May our memories sustain and encourage us during this time.

So many wonderful memories over the years. From childhood, watching Dad and Uncle Kelly enjoy the Friday night fights on television. Their trips to lakeside from the heights for lunch as they worked together. Uncle Kelly's visits,care and concern for Dad during Dad's failing years. Those Saturday events at Aunt Rene's where all the stories were told and enjoyed.

I am enriched by such a legacy of love from a GREAT Uncle.

Aunt Cookie, I echo Dad's many prayers as I pray that you and your family will be drawn close to Jesus' love, finding your peace from Him during this time of loss and through the coming years.##imported-begin##Randie Clawson##imported-end##

My love and sympathy to the whole family.

Uncle Kelly was a sweet and humble man and a good uncle. When my son Holden was little and needed his first "Big Boy" haircut, Uncle Kelly was the only one we would trust to give it, even though we had to come across the country for it!

Uncle Kelly was also such an inspiration, remaining healthy and active throughout so many of his later years, with his long walks around Lakeside.

I certainly remember him fondly, and hope that your wonderful memories of him will give you comfort at this time.##imported-begin##Molly Clawson##imported-end##

You have my deepest sympathy for your loss; and it's our loss, too. Uncle Kelly had a special place in the world and in my heart and mind. It was a great pleasure just to see him and to shake his hand when I came to visit. It was a treat to see him every time. I have a lot of Uncle Kelly's stories to remember my Dad with and the memory of him telling them goes right along with them. No one was ever better at being a firebrand and a sweetheart at the same time.##imported-begin##James Noel Clawson##imported-end##
