I remember the first time I met Uncle Clint. I was 5-7 Yrs old and he came out to BC with his first wife Angie. I heard his voice and to me he sounded just like his father Grandpa Acheson. But over time I learned he wasn't anything like him. Uncle Clint was full of personality- always in for a good time or a joke. Even with Auntie Louise's warning I gave him my e-mail address and had to change it because I couldn't keep up with the political & old age jokes/ mind twister challenges. Min 12 a day. Fun was in Uncle Clint's DNA. Always sincerely interested in what was going on in your life and if you happened to get on the phone with him, it was a min of an hr. I can't imagine the void he leaves for his immediate family and my hea…

I have so many good and fond memories of Clint.  Sean and I travelled to Winnipeg from Kamloops every two years after we got married in 1979. Our kids were able to grow up together. Sean and I travelled to Dallas Texas and met up with Clint and Louise and travelled to Corpus Christy and several other spots in Texas.  We also cruised to Hawaii in 2008 with Clint and Louise and 8 to 10 other family and friends unforgettable trip. One trip back to Winnipeg Sean and I Stayed in Regina overnight and on leaving the next morning we were driving fairly fast which was usual for Sean and ended up getting a speeding ticket in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The RCMP officer said we were the second car from BC that he had ticketed that morning.  Sean asked if the other driver was Mel Ost from Campbell River and he…

My condolences go out to my extended family for your loss Uncle Clint will be sorely missed I have so many fond memories of my Uncle I am comforted somewhat that he is no longer in pain and hopefully he is sitting with the rest of our loved ones that have gone on before us enjoying mom's cinnamon buns that he so enjoyed whenever he visited ❤️

Clint always brought a sparkle in his eye and a bright smile to every family get together. A true joy to be around and a blessing to have shared life with.Clint could tell stories like few can; making you feel like you were in the moment with him. Sending love and hugs to everyone❤️‍🩹

We were so sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Clint. I will always remember our time with him- the laughs, the stories, the card games and the support through some of life’s toughest times. Living provinces away, our time together wasn’t frequent, especially in the last decade, but when we got together it felt as though things picked right up where they last left off. Thinking of the family as they navigate the loss of an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He will be very missed.

The thing I loved most from Grandpa must have been the advice he gave. He did this in numerous different ways. Whether it was after a hockey game or as we were playing cribbage, he was never short on advice. I remember at my games I would see him at the glass giving me winks and smiles, and I would just smile back. It would make me feel so good. The best advice had to be at the end of the game, he would give me small pointers like "keep your head up" or "keep battling". It meant so much to me to see him by the glass at my games and I will cherish these memories forever!

I love you Grandpa!

Some of my best memories with Grandpa were playing games. When I was little, we played sequences with animals instead of cards. We have moved up since then and over the past couple of years we played quite a bit. He was always super lucky and got a lot of jacks(wild cards), so I usually lost. But these are some of my best memories.

Another memory is playing hand and foot. We played lots over the summer. One time we had only played one round before we had to eat supper. Me and him were destroying my mom and dad, so once we had finished eating we were forced to start a new game(bozos). Our next game we did win, but not by that much. I always will remember that he loved going for the BIG DICK(canasta

of all wild cards) which is worth 1500 points. He would get i…

Can't express how much I am going to miss you. You were the left winger to my right wing, trying to find the center. (We never played hockey together! ) 46 years of friendship and memories that will last forever. Louise, Lani and Graeme, all our love to you and your families.
