Clarence was a pillar of strength in his family. He loved his wife Linda dearly and was proud to have celebrated 50 years of marriage together this past September. Clarence beamed with pride every opportunity he had to talk about his “boys” he was a big influence in their lives , he was never without a hug and laugh for all of his grandchildren. He was the true definition of a family man.

Clarence was known to do anything to help all of his family as he had connections everywhere and always knew who to call or where to go.

Clarence was a man who loved to be behind the wheel of anything.  From tractors, to heavy equipment , escorting wide loads and working as a dump truck driver he always enjoyed what he did and the many people he would meet along the way. 

The family thanks everyone for their care and support during this difficult time.
