Judy,
I am so sorry to hear of Clare's passing. I remember with great fondness working with both of you around the time you got married. I feel so fortunate to have spent a few hours last summer chatting with Clare when we ran into each other in a waiting room at a doctors office. I will keep you in my prayers Judy and know how much it hurts to lose someone so special.

Judy and family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time and in the days ahead. We have fond memories of our happy times during our get togethers. Clare was a caring, giving, and generous guy to all who knew him. He was the best!
May you be comforted with your precious memories and softly may peace heal your heartache.

Worked with Clarence at Heath in the late 60's. He was a great guy, always had a smile when he saw you, might not remember your name immediately but in the course of talking with you, you could see the light bulb come on. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss, may he RIP.

I first met Clarence at Paw Paw lake golf course so many years ago I don't remember when. He was a valued member of our league and specifically our golf team. He made sure we had enough points in the only championship we played. Such a nice man and really liked by all who ever met him. Clar was a one-of-a-kind. You will be missed. Happy Trails.

Judy and family,
Clare was a great person, always available when you needed him at church. His smile, hugs,and jokes will be missed, and we'll think of him at Christmas, and how much he enjoyed Mom's fruitcake.
With love,
The Ralph Bower and Richard Muenger families

When Clarence first joined the Whirlpool community in the mid-1970's, he shared the best memories from each of his prior jobs .
As a dryer life test technician, being indoors was not one of the best jobs. He reminisced of the Air Force base at Reykjavik Iceland and even more remote places like Munising, Michigan. His favorite job was the 5 years he spent at North Shore Memory Gardens.
We will fondly remember him.

My prayers and thoughts are with you Judy in your loss of Clare. Clare had a sense of humor with a smile wherever he went. I can remember when I first met you and Clare, I felt like I had just met a wonderful couple who cared for others and that you both made a new friend. Clare was given so much through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ that he would never let things go undone and it had to be taken care of immediately. Clare will be missed by the many people he came in touch with along with his wonderful loving church family. But also his sense of humor that he had, but he also had a caring touch about him that he reached out to anyone or anybody whether sickness or a loss of someone he knew. I will never forget Clare and especially you Judy, but he is at home now with his Heavenly Father and that he will keep you in his heart with love, caring, and comfort today, tomorrow and the days ahead. Clare will always live on in your heart and those he came in touch with. Rest in Peace Clare. Leon Burke

Judy and family,
My heart is breaking for all of you. We've known Clare for a very long time from working at Whirlpool and attending CUMC. Clare was so kind and loving always ready with a smile and hug. We will miss his cheerful attitude and his willingness to help. He was a true Christian. Judy, we will keep you in our prayers and thoughts.

Judy and family,
We are heartbroken at the loss of Clare. You know how much we love both him and you. You and Clare helped us find our paradise in Gulf Shores and we will forever be grateful. We missed you both so much last winter and will always and forever remember you both, especially Clare when Dennis eats his YaYa. We love you and you remain in our prayers.
