The notice was in today's newspaper. In lieu of flowers, donations are encouraged to the St John Ambulance, The GGFG Regimental Association or the SPCA. I have been in contact with Hanno privately, and can facilitate any group contributions the MLU community chooses to make.

For fullest effect, I would suggest that any donations be identified in his name from a member of the historic military vehicle community.

To Clive's Family. Please accept my sincere condolences. As others have said...shocking, wow & sad....I can’t believe it. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief.
I clearly remember first meeting Clive about 20 or so years ago at one of the Louisville SOS military shows and we remained connected ever since. I always looked forward to opportunities where we could chat such as Aquino, just a few weeks ago. His passion for militaria, military vehicles and significant contributions inspired all of us. His passing will continue to inspire as it is a reminder to all of us that life is short and we should make the most of it!
Clive, Rest in Peace. We will miss you!
Terry

Terry, thanks for this information.

I would propose that MLU will make a donation to St. John Ambulance in lieu of flowers.

Anyone wishing to chip in, please do so via this link: https://www.paypal.me/MapleLeafUp.

I will then transfer the total in name of the individuals and MLU as a whole. Anyone is of course also free to donate themselves to any of the good causes listed, if they feel the need.

Thanks in advance!

Hanno

Anyone wishing to chip in, please do so as soon as you can. I would like to finalise this over the weekend.

Terry's brother Pat is serving with St. John Ambulance, he gave some very useful tips

Thanks in advance!

Almost to the minute Clive's service started at 1000, and was over by 1200. Small sandwiches (with and without gluten), vegetables and dainty sticky desserts followed. Coffee and Adam's Ale were served. No hayboxes or SRD jugs seen.

I must pass along that Clive's wife and his daughter and son spoke appreciatively of the presence of the military vehicles and the Ferret in the procession.

The procession was two funeral home cars with their staff, ahead of the Cold War Collection's Ferret, the hearse and other cars.

And the last photo is his temporary marker until a proper veteran's limestone headstone is delivered.

Hello Terry

Thanks for adding the photos and bringing your M151A2.

It was a very suiting tribute to Clive, there were representatives of the many groups that Clive was involved with. It was standing room only.

I have attached a photo of Clive, possibly posted previously.

He will be missed.

Thanks

Eric

I omitted to thank Jeff Mierins and Nick Tilgner (The Cold War Collection) for bringing their Ferret and Robert Clarke for bringing his M37.
