Memories & Condolences

I worked for Bobbie Dean Clark for a great amount of years, I first was employed by High Mountain Jerky in September of 2002 while moving to Riverton Wyoming with my 3 children as a single mother. I was asked shortly after being employed if I would be able to cover for he to iron his shirts and Jean's, as he was losing his house keeper that served him for years, it was to be for two weeks , but I stayed with it for nearly 17 years, I was asked to clean his home, watch his home while he went out of town a few times, as he trusted me with the combination to his garage, you see I was asked to check the mouse traps , I continued to help he as I grew to love him as a daughter would care for a Father. I was grieving for a long while as
he was so very kind, I Alway did like going there as he was polite and treated me with respect, he was concerned about me as a Mother and frequently asked about my children, I was asked from time to time to visit with he, and enjoyed the beautiful land that he cared for, he alway took great care of his property,
I was paid for my gas as well as ironing for he, it was not a large amount but it sustained us as I made a low income while supporting my children, I was asked to clip his toe nails as he suffered with his feet hurting, I consented with him being so generous, he offered me a hundred dollars, I was embarrassed as this was much, he gave unrelenting, I came back the next week as I returned
, he desired to be honest and pay me, I said no because he had already paid me so much before, I worked diligently for him for so long, I did not mind caring for his feet as I knew he was in pain, I would have done this without being paid but he insisted to help me , you did not know me but I knew Dean as a warm hearted man with a heart of gold. He offered to help my children when they were very young and truly cared. He is a good man whom cared for Sally Anne Kelliher, you see I tried to find Dean as I returned to pick up another load of ironing, I looked to see if he had passed away, calling his number, checking several times to see if he had returned to his home, I thought of leaving a note, I finally spoke with his brother here in Riverton at Riverton Walmart where I work, I will remember Dean with fondness as he was so good to me and kind. He helped us at Thanksgiving for a Thanksgiving meal, as my children will remember us having a good meal. I did not ask Dean for money as I did earn my pay. I knew him to have helped so many others that were suffering. I knew him to be an imperfect man, but I as well knew him for who he truly is inside, good, kind, honest, forthright, and most of all forgiving, he is nearly the same age as my Father Alfred whom served in the USA Airforce for 27 years, a Vietnam Veteran, POW, and a Father himself, it was I that introduced Dean to both my Parents, Alfred and Joan Crummitt, whom are also gone, my parents were so pleased to be introduced to the man that treated their daughter with respect, Bobbie Dean shook both my parents hands in respect, I will miss Bobbie Dean ,
and someday we will meet again and I will thank him again for helping me to persevere in this life, we grew to be good friends as we spoke of many things, I knew after speaking to many about Bobbie Dean that he touched many with good. I am blessed to have known him,
Please know that your Father and GrandFather loves all, he truly does,
I did meet one daughter of his whom is so very kind as well as her dog, she as well was so concerned about her Father, she is much like her Father. I respect your privacy as I knew he was somewhere in Casper, I would have liked to speak with he but it was not to be, remember him with love and that he served others for good.
Thankfully Sally as he desired me as one of his daughters, I will miss he
