Remembering
Mike with Love...
Michael
F. Clouser, 54, of Ephrata, died Thursday, November 6, 2008,
at 12:45 PM in the Mt.
Joy
Hospice
Center
following a long, hard-fought battle with cancer.
Born in
Washington, D.C., a son of Carolyn D. (Gates) Shaw,
Lottsburg, VA, and the late William F. Clouser, Jr., he shared 30 years of
marriage with Jackie (Sitts) Clouser.
Mike worked 27 years for Sungard, Malvern, a computer
software company, where he helped develop and implement
systems used by colleges and universities worldwide.
He received a US
patent for a software invention of database reporting, and was
proud to receive the 2005 “Emerald Award” for customer
satisfaction. Always
involved in his children’s activities, he coached softball,
baseball and bowling. His
Warwick
High School
bowling team honored him as 2007-08 Coach of the Year, where
his legacy will continue with a scholarship fund in his name.
He was a former vice-president of the Ephrata Lion’s
Club and the BINGO caller at the annual Ephrata Farm Show.
Mike’s other passions included golfing, sci-fi and bowling.
He achieved a dream in 2005 by joining the Sr.
Pro-Bowlers Tour where he competed in many tournaments in the
northeast region, having advanced to the quarter finals
against his idol, Mark Roth. Also surviving are his daughter,
Kelley M. Clouser, and son, Christopher M. Clouser, both of
Ephrata; step-father, Reginald Shaw; sister, Katheryn Daker,
and brothers, Neale, Charles and John, all of Virginia.
