  Donald was born in the house his father built on the corner of River Street and Lakeshore Drive in Lakeside, California on December 12, 1921.  The living room had not been completed the night he was born.  His father nailed blankets on the door between the dining room and living room to keep out the cold.  The house was heated with a wood burning stove.  Donald's nephew, Max Clevenger, and his family currently live in the house.
  When Donald was born he joined his Father and Mother Leslie and Fay Clevenger and four-year-old sister Freda.  Two years later his brother Richard was born and 2 1/2 years later his sister Claire arrived.  Donald attended Lakeside Elementary School and Grossmont High School.  During his Grossmont years, Donald excelled in throwing the shot put.  He was called "Swede" by many of his high school pals.

  Donald married Betty Otti -- affectionately called "Babel' by family and friends. They had one son William Leslie Clevenger.
Later Donald married Dorothy Larson, and to friends and relatives they became known as Don and Dot.
  During his retirement years, Don enjoyed his morning walks around Lindo Lake and visiting with friends he met along the way.

Don and Dot attended many Navy Ship Reunions in various cities in the United States and traveled in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
  Donald was a member of the Lakeside Historical Society, the Lakeside V. F. W., and Elks Lodge 1812.
  Don was diagnosed with cancer in August of 2001.  He spent the last sixteen months of his life living in Campo, lovingly cared for by his son Bill and daughter-in-law Cathy.  He died on December 11, 2001, the day before his 80th birthday.
  He is survived by his son William Clevenger, daughter-in-law Cathy, brother Richard Clevenger, sister Claire Westrick, six nephews and one niece.
  It was Donald's request his body be cremated and his ashes scattered at sea by the Navy 
  For you Don only clear skies and smooth sailing from now on.  We will miss your never ending sea stories, "gift for gab" and infectious grin.
