What a dear friend he was to so many. I remember many fun times on the farm when Adrienne & Lissa were little girls. He always loved to see us come foe a visit. He was a good grandpa to them and was always very good to me. I will always have fond memories and will remember that beautiful smile. God Bless You Clarence..
