Clarence was a good friend of our entire family and I enjoyed talking with him. He was insightful and had an interesting perception and knowledge of so many areas. From politics to the stock market, Clarence would pepper his comments and advice with humor that would make me laugh. Clarence, we will miss you. Rest in Peace.
