Clarence was a very hard-working man. Always full of life and laughter, loved his family and would do anything for anyone. He loved cornhole and had limited tolerance for bullcrap, he was truly a straight shooter. He will always be loved and remembered. Growing up, his nickname was “Twister” because he was always getting into something. Stevie Foster was a best friend of his and loved him dearly.

RIP Twister…even though we drift away as we grow into adults memories of our unique childhood remain in our hearts forever. You, along with Sug & Daisy will always hold a very special place in my heart. Godspeed ole buddy I will see u again someday.
Rest in Peace Clarence. I remember tutoring you in the hospital after you hurt your arm in a farm accident, and the history trip we took to Fredericksburg with Tom Lee, Jr. for memorizing the states and capitals. You took Penny Chadwell’s place because she couldn’t go. You both were so excited to ride in my new yellow Cougar! I was your second grade teacher at Sperryville Elementary.
Missing you so much, Uncle Jr.
I love you.
