So sad to hear about Clive what a great guy he was. To young to be taken. Think of family.Neal Eade
I grew up in Orepuki and Clive was friends with my brother so my memories of Clive are as a child. But I do want to send love and condolences to you Judith and Clive's wife and children. My thoughts are with you allFiona Findlay (nee Herrick)

I had the privilege of working with Clive for over 20 years. While Clive did not work in our organisation, he was indirect part of our team, valued, well-liked and respected. Clive was not only a trusted colleague but a genuinely good mate, and he will be deeply missed. My heartfelt thoughts are with Ann-Marie, Charlotte, Ella, and the entire family during this very difficult time.Rudi van Emmenes
This was an absolute shock to me, hearing this news on the day. I had spoken to and had a few beers with Clive just before Xmas and he was upbeat and seemingly well. A stand-up guy, who would put on a grumpy persona, but would do anything for you and wanted to hear how you are doing. I will miss him. My thoughts are with Anne-Marie and the girls, will see you todayAnthony Williams (Willie)
I've worked with Clive on several projects over the last 5 years. No matter how busy he was he would always take the time to have a bit of a catch up and chat about life, family and events in the world. Clive was always helpful and had a wonderful sense of humour. He would always talk proudly about his two girls and their achievements and always would ask about how my kids were doing. It was a privilege knowing you Clive, I am really going to miss our chats.Kevin Dallas
