Clarence David Langford

December 2, 1933 – April 5, 2012

Clarence Langford, 79, of Helena, passed away May 4th, 2012, surrounded by his wife and children. Clarence was born in Plum Creek, Montana, to Harold and Elizabeth Langford. He grew up in Hanover, Montana, graduating from Fergus High School in Lewistown in 1951. Clarence joined the United States Navy in 1951, serving on mine sweepers during the Korean Conflict.

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 “grandpa”, 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_

Clarence was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Howard and Leonard. He is survived by Marie, his wife of 50 years, and his children: Darrel (Gina) Langford, Dianna (Tim) Sizemore, Audrey (Charlie) Matthies, and Karen (Dewey) Russell. His most prized possessions were his grandchildren: Dustin, Stephanie and David Langford; Sara Sizemore; RaeLyn, Kacie and Rebeca Matthies; Hayley and Josh Russell; and great granddaughter Ellie Runnion._x000D_

    Marie & family,
    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,
    Carol Kalberg Bonner
