He was current chair of the Godbold School of Business Board of Advisors, and also a member of the GWU Board of Trustees. A native of Indiana, Clouse and his wife, a Boiling Springs native, re- tired to Cleveland County, N.C., in 2010. His associa- tion with Gardner-Webb be- gan as a sports fan eager to immerse himself in his new community. Fellow church members introduced him to GWU athletics, and in 2012, he joined the Bulldog Club. "We are all deeply sad- dened by Rod Clouse's sud- den passing," shared GWU President Dr. William M. Downs. "Rod was an active and dedicated member of Gard- ner-Webb's Board of Trustees, and he was a passionate supporter of Bulldog athletics. Always ready with a thoughtful suggestion or a word of encouragement, Rod was a true asset to our campus community. I will remember him with both gratitude and re- spect." From his interest in sports, Clouse's af- fi nity for the University extended beyond the fi eld of play to its strong academics and emphasis on service. After a career in national and international manufactur- ing, Clouse felt drawn to GWU's acclaimed Godbold School of Business. The more he learned about the School, the more excited he became about supporting it. In 2014, he agreed to serve on the School's Board of Advisors. Mischia Taylor, School of Business dean and instructor of marketing, appreciated Clouse's support and his vast profession- al experience. "When I began as dean, he was quick to reach out and offer his assistance," she related. "He was a great mentor to me and served everyone in our department. He was a wonderful man, who always attended events and supported our students. My favorite memories will be our lunch trips to chat over all things GWU, but we always took time to just catch up with life." Clouse spent his career with Parker Han- nifi n Corporation, which specializes in man- ufacturing motion and control technologies and systems. In 2016, he was featured in Gardner-Webb, The Magazine. In the arti- cle, Clouse refl ected on his time with the company. As a manager, he worked with alumni of GWU's business programs and took note of their curiosity and profession- alism. "Gardner-Webb is a great, classic liberal arts institution with fi rst-class facil- ities," he said in the story. "I'm impressed with the people associated with it, including the speakers who come to campus. I think it's a fantastic school." Jennifer Marion Mills, president of the GWU Board of Trustees, also praised Clouse's character and his service to the University. "Rod Clouse was a great person and an avid supporter of Gardner-Webb," she affi rmed. "Rod provided sig- nifi cant leadership on the Board of Trustees, where he served on both the Development Commit- tee and the Marketing Commit- tee. Rod had a servant's heart and was truly an advocate for Gardner-Webb University. Rod's contributions will be missed not only by the Board, but the entire University. I know I share every Board member's sadness. Rod will be greatly missed." Clouse graduated from Ball State Univer- sity in Muncie, Ind., with a double major in sociology and political science. He consid- ered a career in law and did a stint as a teacher of American history. Then, an op- portunity came that transformed his career plans: the offer of a ground-fl oor engineer's position with a Detroit-based company. Clouse took it. Though he had no formal engineering training, he found—much to his surprise—that he had an aptitude for engineering design and sales. Clouse joined Parker, where he became a go-to manager who helped revive strug- gling plants by boosting employee morale and streamlining work processes. In 1992, he moved to the South for the fi rst time, be- coming a manager at Parker's Forest City (N.C.) plant. He met his wife, Freida Led- better Hamrick, and they wed in 1994. In 2000, Parker asked Clouse to move to London, England, to serve as president of operations for the hydraulic groups. While there, he and Freida bought a home in Boiling Springs to have a place close to her family. In 2010, Parker tapped Clouse for another step up—to the company's Euro- pean headquarters in Switzerland. He and Freida weighed the offer, but in the end de- cided to settle in North Carolina. Clouse embraced the Cleveland County community with his characteristic curiosity and energy. He bought the Roundup store in Shelby from longtime GWU friend and benefactor Dr. Jack Hunt. He also owned the Affi nity Salon and Spa in Shelby. He served on the Habitat for Humanity board, the Cleveland County Arts Council Board, the Cleveland Community College Foun- dation Board and was a Guardian ad Li- tem—a court-appointed advocate to rep- resent the best interests of foster children.
