Dear Betty and family, I am sorry for your loss and for the community of Beaver Dam. Clete left a lasting legacy and will be missed by many. Heaven is rejoicing and Clete is now a beloved member of Heaven's choir. I often think of his wonderful smile that first came from his eyes and then radiated throughout his face.

Clete was a caring person and a mentor to those of us in the community fortunate enough to serve alongside him (and Betty) on charities. He always treated everyone with respect and in return was respected and admired. His is a loss for his family and for Beaver Dam and he will be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dearest "Mom Betty", our "brothers" and to the rest of the Willihnganz family. Our hearts are breaking with the passing of "Pop Clete" to the next life but comforted with the knowledge that he is free of any physical pain and now dancing and singing up in Heaven. Rob and I send the whole family our sympathies, prayers and most of all our LOVE. My cousin Julie and I met Mom and Pop in 1985 during our 1st European trip and have become their adopted daughters ever since. The familial bond and friendship has flourished through the years and we are truly blessed for that. Pop, we shall miss your physical presence but you will forever be in our thoughts and in our hearts. Keep smiling down on all of us. We love you.
