Clarence Jaeger Obituary

The Jaeger family and mine were extended families for each other while we were growing up. Clarence and Dad were strong friends and I like to think that they are together in Heaven measuring, re-measuring, and measuring again and working on a new project. Clarence was such a gentleman and a kind and loving family man. I'm sure that he was the example of integrity and expertise to many of his students at Palmer High School. He loved his family more than anything and my prayers are with them during this difficult time of loss.

On behalf of the Memorial Health System Foundation Board of Directors and Staff, I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Jaeger family, upon Clarence’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we hope you find comfort during this difficult time of loss. Sincerely, Patricia Peterson, President and CEO

Grandpa was a great man and one of my first best friends and all the memories that I have will be remembered. No matter how much he's missed all we need to do is remember the good times we had with him.

THE ADDY & HARKER FAMILY

I was a student of Mr. Jaeger. I graduated from Palmer in 1975 as did my wife Henrietta (Moreno). Mr. Jaeger had a unique way to make even hard headed kids like myself want to attend his class. When I saw his obituary I looked in storage & actually found a project I made in his class. I fondly remember him barking at the end of class... "Ladies & gentlemen... & you too Mr. Salaz... it's time to clean up". Via con Dios Mr. Jaeger.

Grandpa,
I want you to know that I love you very much. You are a very important person in my life and in fact I've never been able to look up to someone more than I did you. Thank you for making such a huge impact on my life. You are an amazing dad, grandpa, and great grandpa. I still cant imagine that this is real... I still feel like Im going to go up to the house and see you playing in the green house or working in your work shop.... Thank you for everything you've given and taught me... you will be so very much missed! I LOVE YOU GRANDPA, for everything that you meant to me in my life, and I shall carry you with me forever.
With love always

The genial and friendly Clarence I knew will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We were both teachers at Palmer High School and I appreciated some favors he did for me in the Vocational Dept. He was always in good humor and pleasant to work with. We in the Palmer community will miss him dearly.
