C.W. was born March 11, 1948 in Marlin, TX to William and Clara Neuman Korger. They prayed and waited many years before they were blessed with their only son, Clarence.

He worked for many years at Hawkins Grainery and Riesel I.S.D. He was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church.

The happiest time of his life was marrying Rebecca Ramos and raising their five beautiful girls together. As the years passed, they watched their girls mature, grow up, and get married. His greatest joy came to him when his grandchildren entered his life. The very meaning of his life was his family!

Life for C.W. was going out to eat catfish with his family, camping, card playing, woodworking, and watching the Houston Texans play ball. His favorite pastime of all was playing dominoes and WINNING!!
