Dana, Dwayne and Mrs. C….Many many years have past, and when I looked up a trusted family who took care of my fathers trees, I was saddened to see this notice. Know that your father was such a great and respected man, husband and father! My love and prayers to you all. Ann Cremers.

I was sorry to hear of Rodney's passing and have so many good memories of dinners at Alice and Rodney's house. They were kind enough to invite us to the Poconos when my daughters were little. He will be remembered by friends and family.

Alice and the entire Clauser family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. It has been years since I talked to Rod, but I can still hear him saying HARD WORK IS NEVER EASY. In my mind he was a hardworking, generous man with a great sense of humor. Rodney, Dwayne, and I work many weekends together with his tree business. He made the hard work seem a much easier and the time pass much faster with his funny remarks. Although the subject never came up, I think Rod knew that my family was having to struggle a bit to make ends meet at that time in my life. He always provided me a way to make extra money and rewarded me by paying me more than I was worth. When I bought a stump grinder to make some extra money Rod and Dwayne
supplied me with stump removal jobs. I will always admire Rodney's strength as a man, and I will always remember the kindness and generosity he showed me and my son. We were both truly blessed to know him. I am truly sorry for your loss and "May God Bless the Clauser Family."
