Clint attended the Gale Institute in Minneapolis, while working for the Milwaukee Railroad as a switchman. He then attended the University of Minnesota, graduating with a degree in business. 

Clint worked for Montgomery Ward for many years, then moved with his family to St. Louis, MO, where he worked for Venture Co.

 Clint enjoyed watching sports, gardening, time with his family, traveling from Europe to China to Mexico and blessed by his involvement in church life. He and Marge had season tickets for the Minnesota Vikings for the longest time back when they played in the Super Bowl. His favorite plants were flowers especially roses which always decorated the yard around the home. Family gatherings were some of his favorite times in life. Traveling with Marge and close friends created great memories and lots of fun.
