Clarence loved spending time with family, grandchildren and his friends. He also enjoyed going fishing, golfing and cribbage. Clarence had a talent for fixing anything and everything. He loved to create a great variety of beautiful and practical crafts. He used his talents to help everyone that he knew as well as complete strangers. He will be remembered for being a kind, generous, caring, quiet and wise man. He always had a smile to share and loved to make people laugh with his humor.
