I worked with Clarence at the Marion Fire Department. He was a hardworking, hardnosed Firefighter who would never think twice before taking a risk for others. You should be very proud of this fine gentleman. God be with you in this time of loss.

Jeanne and Susan,
We are so sorry to hear about your Dad. We loved the fact he had a spirit for winning when he raced. Richard said the last time your Dad raced at Charity Newies in Columbus, He went out to qualify for a position in the race and set the track record for the fastest lap. Came back to the pit put his bike away and said " I just proved everything I needed to myself!"
God bless and keep all of you.
