Carl Robert Clauson




CLAUSON-Carl Robert Clauson "Bob", passed away on July 10, 2008 at the age of 83, surrounded by his loving family. Bob, a lifetime resident of Pasadena, is survived by Doralyn, his wife of almost 58 years, and their children and spouses, Barbara Clauson and Dennis Hanhi (Albany, Or), Carl and Sharon Clauson (Altadena, CA), Donald and Laura Clauson (Sierra Madre, CA), and Paul and Akemi Clauson (Chino Hills, CA). He has 5 grandchildren, Heather, Sarah, Scott, Emily, Anna, and 1 great grandchild, Kody Paul. Bob served in the Navy (Construction Battalion) during World War II. His work with the CB's was something he always remembered and loved to reminisce about. He was a master carpenter and his legacy remains in his craftsmanship of many fine homes and buildings throughout the Pasadena area, including Pasadena First United Methodist Church, where he was a faithful member. Bob will be remembered for his great sense of humor, his many stories, and his love and dedication to his family and friends. He was always available to help his family and friends with building projects or home repairs. During his retirement years, he enjoyed square dancing, lawn bowling, and Dixieland jazz. A memorial service will be held in his honor in the chapel at Pasadena First United Methodist Church, 500 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena CA, on Saturday July 19, 2008 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flower, kindly send memorial gifts to Vitas Hospice, 598 S. Grand Avenue, Covina, CA 91724 or the First United Methodist Church "Preschool Fund".
