The entire time I went to Gainesville High School (20 years ago), Clarence was such a bright spot! His smile and genuine care brightened up my day, no matter what. There were days when he was the only one who noticed me or noticed that I was down and he always, always had a way of making me smile. He cared. High school is a weird time in life and having someone like Clarence being there to encourage and support young people is inspirational. I can honestly say that I genuinely loved Clarence and am thankful to have had him in my life growing up. When I would stop by the school years after graduating, I would circle the campus looking to say "hi", even if he didn´t remember me anymore. Thank you. Thank you to his family for sharing him. Although we´ve never met, my heart goes out to you. I cry along with you and I´ll be praying for you.
