Description

Clint was a man of manners. A courtly man who deplored bad language, always stood when a woman entered the room, and dedicated his life to the service of others. A private man who was loathe to talk about himself but eventually did so with the help of a woman who loved him. A courageous man who guarded five presidents, risked his life every day for two decades, overcame the kind of darkness that many cannot, and carried in his pocket a business card that spelled out the proper way to make the drink he preferred. A legend in the Secret Service, who was, in the words of Robert Frost, “acquainted with the night.” A man who walked out in rain and back in rain. A man who outwalked the furthest city light…” What a man. What a life.

Wow. He just passed 8 days ago. RIP, sir. You are officially relieved of duty. Well done, good and faithful servant. Blessings to his widowed wife. Peace be with all of you. 🙏🕊🌹

My father was one of his agents, on the next shift. He always spoke highly of Mr. Hill

I can hear the guilt and shame in this man's voice. "I didn't get there in time, the bullet out ran me"....Sir, you have nothing to feel guilty about! I thank you for your service, a job I cannot do. Rest easy!

An ordinary man with uncommon character, integrity, honor, and work ethic. Mr. Rowe, one of your scholarships should be named for him.

I am glad you interviewed him. Thanks to you I found out about his books and that an updated release was coming and he would be available to sign copies. He and Lisa were gracious to sign mine. It’s a cherished part of my collection. Rest in peace Clint.

When Lisa says the world stopped for 4 days, I feel like that happened after 911 too. Everyone was in shock.
