I miss you so much❣
Love you always, Robin

My deepest condolences to Janel, Katy and Robin.  Janel it was great to meet you at the visitation.  Your dad was the best I ever met at rebuilding those module gear boxes. His attention to detail and thoroughness was unmatched. After working with Clarence for over 40 years he was a good friend and a part of our family.  We all hired in young and grew up together.  He may be gone but never forgotten.

I worked with Clarence for 41 years. We were able to talk a lot about life, the world around us, work, and whatever happened to come up. He was a wonderful person and I am a better person for having known him. Rest In Peace my friend.

I grew up with Clarence, We sure had some good times. There were never any dual moments with Clarence around lol.... We both worked at the steel mill. He was in maintenance and I was operations. I sure will miss him. RIP my friend. 

Such sad news, Clarence was a good man and a close friend. I worked with him for over 3 decades and he will surely be missed. Prayers for all family 
 

My  brother Clarence was a good man.  Many wonderful memories with Clarence,  I remember as we were growing up he loved playing his guitar. He would plug in his big amplifier for his electric guitar and face it out the back of the house towards the chickens,  needless to say the chickens were not to fond of that.
He was very active in the YMCA numerous awards for participating in those events. He also had a very nice rock collection that I could spend hours looking at. He was ingenious making a skim board that he would take out during rain storms and get a running jump and ride the board for yard. 
He also loved and was good at photography, I will forever cherish our wedding photos that Clarence took for our wedding reception in Beaumont. 
I love you Clarence and I know we will meet again Rest in Peace Dear Brother .      

So sorry for your loss Katy and Janell. Clarence and I worked together for 22 years back when it was North Star Steel. His detailed work ethic and Organizational skills were always prevalent. His Sarcastic sense of humor kept us laughing in the shops, as well as some awesome times on the river in his boat. I am very Honored to have know him! Beverly and I are praying for your family during this time. 

I remember Clarence from when we were teenagers.  I'll always remember his laugh. R.I.P 

Clarence and I worked together many years at the steel mill.  I always enjoyed visiting with him on his boat. He was a good friend and a good man. I’m honored to have known him and to be able to call him my friend. 
May God bless and comfort you. 

Worked with Clarence for 40 years at the mill. Didn't see him a lot , but when we got together we would sit and talk about the world, never heard him say anything bad about any one. He was one of the good guys, he will be sorely missed, praying for his family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Clarence will be missed but definitely not forgotten.  Proud to have had him as an active member of our Union through all his years of service. This is a picture of Clarence receiving his retirement watch from the Union.  Rest in peace.
