Clarence is survived by his two sons and their wives: Gerald and Sheila Ann of Eureka and Clarry and Cathy Nason of Vancouver, Washington.

Clarence raised his family in the new neighborhood of Brookside in Arcata. Moved from McKinleyville to Brookside in 1950. He worked at the Barrel Factory and later he joined Simpson Timber as a panel patcher up until his retirement. Clarence joined the Veterans of Foreign Wars and served with them for many years. The family wishes to give thanks to Sanders Funeral Home, especially to Sharron Anglin who made this occasion a very special one. Many thanks to Dr Chris Lee and his entire staff for the many years they took care of all of dad and mom's needs right up to their final days. The nurses of Mad River Home Health who went above and beyond in taking care of dad in his final days. These nurses were all so very wonderful.... thank you all. Clarence and Ellie are together now and I am quite sure that the the entire Nason family will soon make room for the rest of our clan. All in good time. Thanks for being such great parents.
