I remember Clarence when he was the choir director at my church, Myrtle UMC. He was such a sweet man.

Janice,
Clarence was a man of strong beliefs and dedicated to his duties. He worked tirelessly for the Association and its members. Clarence was a man of a wide range of experiences and always stood forth to assist anyone needing help. He could tell helpful stories and great jokes from his life's experiences. I am one that will miss him and his presence. My prayers are with you and your family in this time of mourning and adjustment.

Whenever anyone needed help, Clarence was there. He not only did good work, he could tell a story and a joke too. His care and concern for his family and his friends at the NDIA are a great source of not only pride but showed his leadership, care, concern, and dedication to the principles that all of us believed in. I'm going to miss you old friend. My deepest sympathies to Janice as she goes through this period of difficulty, mourning, and adjustment.
