Clarence joined the military out of High School and later settled in Illinois where he attended the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1966, he married Delores Motte and the couple later settled in San Francisco.
As faithful member of St Dominic’s Catholic Church, Clarence enjoyed volunteering in various parish ministries. Additionally, he pursued his love of art for many years as he attended Fort Mason Art classes.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Walter R. Bennett II, Louise Bennett James, and Mildred Bennett Motte.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years and three wonderful nephews, Turner James (Karen), Walter R. Bennett III (Rosalind), Charles H. Motte II (Lanta) and a host of other family members and dear friends.
Services will be held at a time yet to be determined at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church.
