I remember a very gentle and caring man. We were not friends in the traditional sense, but rather parishioners and church friends. We would attend Mass and then all head over to Uncle Bill’s for breakfast on Sundays chatting away until our names were called. I remember Cleve and Phyllis always bowing their heads to say grace before starting their meal.
I remember a very talented toy maker, whose toys thrilled many, many children. Unique and one-of-a-kind toys that were special because they we made with love.
He is truly missed in this world but I’m sure he is happy with the Lord and looks down on all of us guiding our way, if he can. Cleve, you are in my prayers every night and I hope that Chalie is right up there with you.

Hey.
Its me Emma Laswell again.
I cant believe its been a month since you passed away. it feels too soon. it feels like yesterday when i herd the news you passed. i was in school when i found out right before i was about to take a test that i missed that week. i walked into the bathroom and locked it so no one would come in. and i bit my finger and leaned on the wall and sobbed. i still remember my heart sinking to my gut when i herd you wernt with us anymore. that feeling felt unimaginable but yet i still felt the unimaginable. guilt, sadness, anger, unbelief, and belief all at once.
some would agree some days are easier then others but as today marks one month since your passing no matter how much i bite my lip or try to keep it together in public i cant. the day i said goobye to you, the day i herd you passed, the day i was going down to cape may for the funeral and viewing, the viewing, the funeral and everything in between plays in my head over and over again. but for some reason i dont want them to stop because they r my last memories with or toward you. its the last thing i remember so clearly and everysingle detail that happened the time the place the feeelings and everything else in the past month. and i dont wanna let go of that memory because it was my last one with you.
everyone down here misses you papa.
please keep looking out for us up there and we miss you. we all do.
-Emma Laswell

I go on this website everyday. I have it pinned on my computer so that every time i open my computer and i miss my papa i just open the tab and look at the things posted here. ive read Papas obituary and tribute wall posted here over and over again so many times ive lost count. theres not a time during the day where i dont think about him.
driving isnt the same anymore. everytime i hop in the drivers seat and turn on the timer on the drivers app to log my hours, a picture of papa comes up on my phone. every single time no matter the time or day. when i was at papas viewing i gave him a student driver sticker in his casket that i had at the time and ever since then ive felt some sort of presence of him when im driving. and when im not having a great day so i let my parents drive i talk to him in my head and ask him to send me a sign that hes there looking over us. everytime i ask if hes there and im driving or on the road or walking somewhere a white pickup truck always turns the corner and passes me. everytime. for thoes who remember my grandpa, he had a white pickup truck for a long time before he got the purple hotrod. but the reason white pickup trucks are what one of the things i remembered papa by was because i have so many memories in his old white pickup truck. going to pick up pizza or mcdonald and going to the ferry and so so so many more.
to be honest i dont know the reason why im writing this, i just know that today im missing him a little extra thats all.

This summer, I was able to spend a three day weekend with Dad. His car had about 165k miles, and the front suspension had seen better days. We bought all the parts needed to do a complete restoration/upgrade of the front suspension. He came out Friday morning, we had coffee, and got to work in the garage. We spent the rest of the weekend laughing, joking, a little cursing at some rusted bolts, and even shed some tears together. The best part of the weekend is when he asked what he could help with, and I said nothing, just sit back and relax, and enjoy a beer. He happily obliged. He said it felt pretty good to sit on this side of the equation and hand me tools. He was so proud of me, and told me so. Some people have to guess, or they just 'know', but Dad told me how proud he was of me, and the life I had made for myself. That's something I will cherish the rest of my life. There were many times like this that we spent together, but I was so grateful for anytime we had together. He was my best man, twice lol. I will dearly miss him, but he will live on in all of us with his kindness that he taught us.

Our hearts are sad and heavy in the loss of a great man. I have been lucky to call Cleve my Uncle. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He always made me feel loved and special. Even though so many people have lost a wonderful and sweet man, heaven is gaining an angel. You’ll be missed Uncle Cleve, love you.
My sincere condolences to my Aunt Phy and all my cousins, sending prayers, hugs, and love.

We lost a good man. Devoted husband and father, Cleve was from the old school, and we simply do not make them like him anymore. As a fellow Knight, I know Cleve is walking with the Lord as I write this, and he will keep a seat warm for the rest of us till we get there. (Probably already assigned to the carpentry shop). Thoughts and prayers with Phyllis and the entire family.

Papa was one of my biggest supporters in my life. My name is Emma Laswell and I was Cleve's first and oldest grandchild/granddaughter. I'm now 16 years old but the times I remember best are when I was younger. My first time in the drivers seat when I was one and a half years old was with my papa in his white truck. I use to think that truck was huge and it was how my love for pickup trucks started, with papa. In the future when I buy a car, there will never be a moment where I don't think back to the car rides I had with papa in his truck. I also remember when I was younger that there was no back seat and I would have to sit in the middle seat between Papa and Gemma on our car rides. Now that I think of it, was it safe, maybe not, but did I smile and laugh every car ride I had in papas truck, yes. At the time when I was 2, I still lived in MA and remember my grandparents coming to visit my parents and I a lot. Him holding me in the first picture was in MA when I was 2 and it is still one of my favorite pictures to this day. When I look at that picture, I remember his laugh that would light up a whole room and he would always make me smile on the darkest of days. Between the ages of 3 and 4, I always remember trying to match outfits with papa. For example, when we went into town for dinner in the summers, if he wore a red shirt, I would try to wear a red dress to match him. And when he would go fill up his bird feeder that the squirrels would eat instead of the birds, he would always let me help even if I spilled it all over the ground. Papa would always let me help with making his homemade ice-cream. It was the best. I always remember going out to salt the ice in the tuner with him and I would try to get a sneek bite of the ice-cream but never really succeeded. When I was around 9 years old, Papa started his hobby that turned into a business. That was Papa's Toy Shop. And I remember coming into his workshop one say and saying "silly papa you forgot the apostrophe before the s on papas!" and he said "yes I did silly me. Do you want to help make it?" and I of course said yes. Then there we have it the sign was complete after I added a touch of me into it. I remember feeling so happy that I helped my papa with a part of his sign. Around the ages 9-12 at my school there was something called a craft fair. papa and gemma would always come out in papa's purple hotrod and the little trailer behind it filled with wooden toys and his sign. Every year I would always be apart of them selling at the craft fair. I learned so much from papa. Before my papa passed away i got to say goodbye to him. I told him everything i wanted to tell him. One thing to add is that me and my grandpa always went to church, even during the summer. He taught me that God will always be on you side and he is always listening to you even though it might not feel like it. He has also taught me to always be the bigger person, and to always fill your heart with kindness because a little bit of kindness in someone's life can go a long way. I will miss my papa very much but I know he is always looking over us. I love you papa - Emma Laswell
