Clarence held a special place in my heart and I am so happy that I have such wonderful memories of him that will make me smile every time I think of him. He always seemed to sense when a night at work was particularly rough and he always had a smile and kind words to give me even if he was in a hurry. He knew how to lift my spirits! My thoughts are with his family. I know you have so many more memories and happy times that you can recall and share amongst yourselves so that he is always...
