Clive was a man I played endlessly with by the Starbucks, though I'm only so young, he showed the beauty of being simple and compassionate, in all honesty I thought he was out in Kingston for the past while but coming across here wrenched my heart, I miss him. He inspired me to play my heart out and is the reason I have such a ear for classical music. It hurts so much to see him gone, he was in a way a grandfather figure giving me wisdom, God bless him and may he rest as he made me more of a man then many. I hope one day I can be like him, touching so many peoples hearts. I wanted to record him so badly as I just got a setup in place, but the memories of him will only echo further on. I hope anyone recorded him so I can hear him again. I miss you Clive, God bless to a hero of mine.

Unfortunately for me, I only met the man once. I moved to WA a year ago and began exploring Edmonds more intimately around 8 months ago. I enjoyed his performance of both great and obscure classics. He had a deep, and mature yet soothing voice. Like your Grandpa was singing you a lullaby, and reading you a fairytale at once. I love seeing live music in almost any context. And It was such a nice day outside. I smiled, and nodded at him. I wanted to know more about him but I didnt want to disturb the show. He did about 2 more songs and just as I finished my coffee, he wrapped up for the day. I chatted with him briefly, and asked the name of one of his songs. As he walked away I thought to myself, "I hope I see him next time. I'd like to talk to him some more." Little did I know it would be my first & last time. The next time I visited Starbucks I saw a poster of his memorial which lead me here. I am saddened I didn't get to know him further, but I'm grateful we crossed paths at all. Life is short. He seems like a cool guy and he clearly left a mark on his community. It gives me peace to know this man spent his time well, in this life. I still hope we meet again Clive. Farewell.

Clive was my friend, the older brother of Roger, and the younger brother of Wendy. He was a mountaineer, an artist, a humanist, a kind soul. I remember him from our Edmonds High School days with deep affection and admiration. I have thought of him often over the years and am grateful for precious memories and this beautiful drawing he made for me way back in 1976. Peace, love, blessings. P.S. He wrote: "'Land of the Wanderer'," for Karen.

Hi Karen, thank you for sharing your precious memories of my brother Clive. I have a lot of his original music. I will let you know if I find your song when I have a chance to go through it. I will be doing a Celebration of Life in July and it will be posted on this website as it gets closer. Sincerely, Wendy

I lived across the alley from Clive in the little house that has since been demolished and replaced with a big new house. Clive and Phil would come over to my little house by the ferry and we would all take turns playing guitars and singing while sitting in my front yard, watching the ferries come and go. Fun times.

Clive is part of what makes Edmonds a vibrant experience. I will miss seeing and hearing him around town.

Hi Terry, thank you for remembering him. He loved playing music for his community. His friend Lyle plays music down by the Edmonds Waterfront Center. Clive used to join him most evenings to play music together. He was a best friend of Clive and is really missing him. I'm sure he would enjoy you listening to him play sometime.

Clive did not know my name, but he knew my smile, and my wave. Though I did not know his I always looked forward to sitting beside him to listen, always thanked him for being there as I felt he made Edmonds better. His music was beautiful and varied and I remember clearly his Christmas carols he played so recently. I'm very sad to hear he has passed. I will miss him.

I am heartbroken to learn I have lost a brother in every sense of the word. Clive was a great influence in the music scene, here in Fairbanks Alaska. Starting and hosting open mics, performing in the Malamute Saloon show, and keeping the jams a going at music festivals. He lived his live true to his own philosophy, and at times this could be frustrating as hell to those of us who thought we knew more. How I wish I could have one more conversation with him. To Clive's family, I am so sorry for you loss.

So sorry to hear of Clive's passing… Of all the times that I saw him at Downpour I did not know we had a commonality in Fairbanks Alaska… I lived in Fairbanks from the time I was 17 into my mid-20s… I know the places you speak of. We may have crossed paths all those years ago who knows… so sad we didn't get to talk about it

Thank you for your kind words Max. Clive thought of you as a brother and thought the world of you. He will be greatly missed by many. I have some wonderful recordings of his original songs and videos of his life in Alaska. I am getting them converted to digital so they are easier to share and I can include them when we do our Celebration of Clive later this year.

I was drawing on Main Street and Clive had spotted me, I was drawing him as part of practice on drawing people. He came over and we had a small chat. He ended up giving me a copy of a sketch he had done of the mountains the 2nd photo attached is that picture. Good bye Clive you and your music will be missed.

A great musician, a great spirit and a great friend. I will miss the times we shared. The Edmonds Beach and the spot outside Starbucks will not be the same without Clive.
