Clarence was a leutinant corporal in the Marines and served in the Vietnam War. He graduated from Wesleyan University in business administration, where he started his career in textile management. He retired in 2000 from American and Efird as a department head. Clarence was a devoted, loving, kind, and generous man. He touched many lives, including Dale Glover, who he met in 1973. He was a mentor to Dale, and they remained close throughout life. Clarence thought of Dale as an adopted brother. Clarence was family man. He enjoyed spending time with his wife, daughter, and grandchildren. He especially liked to vacation at White Lake with his wife and grandchildren. He will be forever missed.
