Our sympathy to Clarence's family . Clarence was such a good person. He spent so much time with our uncle Jerome Schulte, the two of them had a lot in common, both having served in the war and they both were avid readers so spent much time exchanging books . We are holding you in our hearts as God welcomes Clarence with loving arms into his glorious kingdom
