Cloutier died 27 January 2019. (An In Memoriam piece can be found on the HPS website.)

Cloutier's son-in-law, Doug Minerd, was the master of ceremonies for the celebration. HPS members presented highlights of Cloutier's professional career. John Frazier outlined his career in the HPS, Jack Beck summarized his career at ORAU, and Howard Dickson told about his extensive mentoring contributions.

Cloutier's sons, Richard and Raymond Cloutier, and grandson, Tim Minerd, reviewed his life with his family and friends. A farewell slide show was presented by Minerd.

Hundreds of colleagues, friends, and family members were in attendance.
