Clint Loveman

Dear Krista, Katie, Matthew, Jillian-I am so sorry for your loss, and there are a few memories of Clint that I would like to share: First-Clint was fun and excitable. I remember playing squash together at Memorial University (where we first met)-and his excitability certainly came through in his squash playing!!! I remember one time in particular when I was winning, and he had had enough. As he was bouncing the ball, getting ready to serve, he started humming and singing "Eye of the Tiger". I can't remember who won the match but I do remember Clint running around the squash court chasing the ball like a mad man singing "Eye of the Tiger" at the top of his lungs!:-) He was fun to be around. Second-Clint was good-natured, friendly and had a great sense of humour. During university he and I took a Psychology class together, along with Jennifer, who would later become my wife. The 3 of us always sat together. Clint and I were already friends but that was the first time I really got to know Jennifer and I don't think it would've gone so well if Clint hadn't been there. His good-natured and friendly presence (along with all the joking and laughing we did) provided a very easy environment for Jennifer and I to gradually get to know each other. We began building a friendship during that course that would later lead to dating and marriage. Clint's sense of humour, and his friendly and good-natured personality, played a role in enabling that to happen. I will never forget and will always be grateful for that. Third-I remember us having lots of fun together when I visited you and Clint and the kids in 2007 and we all went camping and hiking together somewhere in the Mojave Desert! (See attached pictures). Lastly-I was grateful at how supportive both you and Clint were during the sickness and death of my first wife, Jennifer, in 2005 and appreciative at how welcoming and supportive you were towards my second wife, Gina, when we visited you in 2010. (Gina speaks very well of Clint too!) He showed a lot of wisdom in how he interacted with me throughout all of those times. I was so happy, Krista, when you and Clint started dating and later married. I am grateful you had so many good years together, but am also now so very sorry for your loss. I will be praying-Krista, Katie, Matthew, Jillian-for you all.
