Bill and Irene Clough arrived in our community in 1992 and it wasn’t long before Bill was a household name; if anyone needed help, they could call Bill. Bill brought with him a love of life and community family. Bill spent countless hours recording a video history of Lake Stevens.

He was full of character, honesty, integrity commitment and the joy of helping others. Bill had the ability to excite people and bring folks together for the better of our community. Wherever there was a need you would find him.

Bill was named Citizen of the Year his first year in Lake Stevens. He has also been named as Kiwanian of the Year and Business Leader of the Year. As project director and chairman of the building committee he was instrumental in building the Holy Cross Catholic Church located at 6915 State Route 92 near Lochsloy – Bill held this as one of his biggest accomplishments. He was a great asset to our community and will be missed.
