SANFORD — Clinton Springer II will be long remembered by his fellow soldiers, his hundreds of friends and, most of all, by his loving family.
Pfc. Clinton E. Springer II, 21, of Sanford, died last Friday, Sept. 24, in Kabul, Afghanistan, in what the U.S. Department of Defense has called a noncombat related incident. The cause of death is under investigation.
"His commanding officer in Afghanistan said he was a magnificent soldier and that he watched him develop from a boy to a man," said Springer's father, Clinton E. Springer, of Sanford.
"He said Clint got along with everyone in his unit," the elder Springer said.
That didn't surprise him.
