Clarence Laudric Shivers

I have many fond memories of my Uncle Clarence. He was a very kind and intellectually fascinating person.

Dear Mrs Shivers,
I met Lt.Col. Shivers in Omaha, NE. He was a Missile Officer and I was a young Missile Systems Analyst in the 549 SMS (1961-1965). Although I wasn't on his crew, I worked with him on numerous occasions. He was a joy to be around. His "war stories" were real and intrigueing. When they closed our organization at Offutt, we all went our separate ways and I never saw him again. He was a great man and a great mentor. I know you'll miss him greatly as will I. Don and Yvette...

We loved Clarence and cherished his smile and glimmer in his eye. His sense of humor was enlightening and his thoughts deep. He shall be missed.

Dear Peggy and Family,

We are sorry to learn of the death of your beloved Clarence. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May he rest in peace.
If there is anything that Sidney and I can do....please let us know.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy and blessing to you and family.

Shirlee and Sidney Darden

We were very saddened when we received the news of Clarence's transition. We'll always remember how he and Peggy gave special purpose to our tour in Spain as we became very close through his art and their hospitality. I just shared his Black Historical Perspective painting for Black History Week in my school. We have always held Clarence in high respect as a man, friend, and artist. We'll continue to pray for and be a support to Peggy, our friend and sister.

Clarence was a warm and caring human being and always a perfect gentleman. We are all blessed to have known him. Colorado Springs was fortunate to have Clarence as a resident. He left the community a better place.

I have had the sincere pleasure of knowing Clarence and Peggy since I was 18 when we moved next door to them. Each time I saw Clarence his great smile and greeting would make me smile. I always enjoyed my conversations with him and I would always take something positive away from each one. I was fortunate as we got to see him often.

Clarence truely has to be one of the most gracious and kindest men I have ever known. I was blown away by his art and great talent. My mom loved his work...
