Terry and Deb
We were so sorry to hear of Clarence’s passing. We always enjoyed visiting with Clarence and you, Dorothy, while coffeeing at the former Lips restaurant and Pump N Pack occasionally. Dave said that he and Clarence were at the morning coffee table at Lips for a long time and played the quarter game to see who paid for the coffee, who paid the waitress tip and last but not least who won the quarters. There will definitely be an empty spot in our community now. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you at this time!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

My best to all his family. I remember a very good man.
