Clint’s last wishes were to come back to Ethete, Wyo. and be with his grandchildren, to see his granddaughter play basketball for Cherokee High School and to fish the Wind River Reservation one last time. Clint loved the Arapaho way of life and beliefs. He used to hunt for his father and mother-in-law, Rita and Buck Trumbull. Ethete, Wyo. was home to Clint and always will be.
Clint was a proud Veteran of the United States Navy beginning in March of 1962 at the age of 18. He served in Vietnam and the “Bay of Pigs”
Clint enjoyed watching sports. His team was the UNC Tarheels, and he enjoyed watching the Cherokee Braves and Lady Braves.
Clint was loved and will be missed.
