Clarence married Marie Fisk in 1962 in Lewistown. Clarence spent his life devoting all of his energy to his children and grandchildren. It was said that when you open a dictionary to the word “grandpaâ€, Webster’s should have put in a picture of Clarence. Clarence’s greatest joy was spending time with all nine of his grandchildren and his new great granddaughter._x000D_

Other than spending time watching all of his grandchildren’s activities, Clarence enjoyed day trips with his wife and spending countless hours in his boat or sitting on the banks of Canyon Ferry drowning worms._x000D_

I am saddened for you at this time, Marie. Please know that I will light a candle for Clarence & remember the times I met him at Harlowton Hospital, seeing the two of you in the Helena area & checking up w/Karen as to how you two were ~ I still remember her birth, Marie! Do take care of you & know I am w/you in thought!
Hugs,
