I first met Clarence in 1994 in Orlando. I soon came to know him as a decent Christian soul and a gentleman. We worked together for many years on a project dear to both of our hearts.
I am profoundly saddened to hear of his passing and I extend my condolences to Phyllis and the rest of his family. Sincerely, Nancy Cooper.
