He was born October 1, 1932, in Denver, Colorado.

Clarence Served in the United States Navy and was honorably discharged in 1953. He was assigned to the USS Naifeh and served in the Korean War.
He began his career with the Glen L. Martin Company March 25, 1957 (later known as Martin Marietta) retiring in 1992 as Managing Director of Electronic Manufacturing. He supported various programs including Titan II, Titan IV, MX/Peacekeeper Missile Program, Viking, Sky Lab, Classified Programs and Special Programs. Production and Material Control was his main functional endeavor. He received several commendations and awards over the years including an Inventors Award for a “CUTTING TOOL INDEX SYSTEM”.
After retirement he volunteered at his church, St James Presbyterian, as Facilities Manager and served his Lord in so many ways at St. James. He was a dedicated student of the Bible and was a member of Bible Study Fellowship for many years.
He enjoyed Golf and was a member of the “Hole in One” group at Pinehurst Country Club where he has been a member since 1978.
He loved the Denver Broncos and has been a season ticket holder since the early 1970’s.
His family was a real priority and he loved being involved in their lives in anyway he could. He loved being the “Handyman” for his family and friends. His skills were innumerable and appreciated by all who knew him.
Clarence will be remembered by his family and friends for his love, loyalty, honesty, and integrity; for the ever-present support he gave so unselfishly to his family; and for his courage in facing many health issues over the years without complaining. He will always be an inspiration for each of us to live a life of service, putting others needs first, and most importantly to love one another as Christ loves us.
He truly knew who he belonged to and that was Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior.
