We have lost a wonderful man this week--Clifton "Click" Baldwin. He and his buddies were riding through Montana on their way to Sturgis and he had a fatal accident on his bike 2 days ago. He is survived by his wife, Diane, and daughter, Chelsea and an enormous amount of friends.
I met Click many years ago in Daytona--he had a Harley Davidson shaped heart and it was big enough to give love and happiness to all who knew him. He was such a colorful guy and loved to tell great stories about his experiences, travels, and his pride and joy--his family. He owned one of the best Harley Davidson dealerships, hung with Kyle Petty and the NASCAR gang, and always had time for a bear hug and a laugh----he was such a fun loving and humble guy who took care of everyone around him.
Click was a mans man and such a gentle man--if you ran into Click--you knew you were in for a good time--no matter how short or long your visit would be. You would also be guaranteed lots of laughs, hugs, and maybe a sip of the Crown.
He called me "The DIV" and I can tell you this--God broke the mold when he made this kind, sweet man. He has left a giant hole in my heart--and all of us will miss him every day. I can hear his voice--and it is with me.
If you Google Click Baldwin you can read about his life and many accomplishments and how he gave himself to many wonderful charities...
I feel blessed and so lucky to have known him.
Thoughts and love to Diane and Chelsea.
