Sorry to hear of Clarence passing. I worked with him as a Tinner at Delco Air also. I didn't know him real well as he always worked third shift. We knew him as Gene or Geno. Nice guy. Keith Hocker

Clarence was such a dear, sweet & loving man. After my cousin, Joyce, Clarence's wife's death, my husband, Bill & I lost touch with him. Of course, I regret that. Our Cummins Clan were card-playing group. We enjoyed the comradery & laughter of winning and losing the games. Now Clarence is at Home with Joyce, Bobbie Jo & Jimmie & his other card-playing & Church going friends. I miss you & the group that spent long weekends at Lake Cumberland on the houseboat! We all roared with laughter together. I'll never forget you. I love you, Cousin Sharry & My Husband, Bill Holman. P.S. Due to complications from my knee replacement surgery, I am unable to attend Clarence's service. I am so sorry.
