My condolences to the Sykes family. Elder Sykes was a very humble and kind person. He enjoyed singing praises to God!

I send my sincere condolences to the Sykes family for Clarence's loss. I first heard his singing voice during the fall of 1972 at Manor High School and was forever struck by it's beauty. My prayers go out to his family and to all the students he taught to sing to the best of their abilities and to love music as he did.

Starr and family, please accept our offering of prayers of condolence to you and the family.

You were one of my daughter's favorite teachers and you would always call me to let me know about her. Thank you so much for your care and concern.
