My deepest sympathy to the family. May the memories of Clarence that you hold in your heart bring healing and peace to you. Clarence was one of the first football players of Central High School of Sussex,VA. He was an outstanding running back with a lot of speed and quickness. He was definitely an asset to the team with the ability to lead courageously on the field. I will always remember his smile and his pleasant demeanor.
He has outrun us all and scored his final goal to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Peace unto the family,
Ethan M. Pitts,Sr.
