He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and attended every celebration and milestone his family members gathered for.

Clarence had a long career in the farming equipment industry working for Versatile and Co-op Implements.

Clarence was a member of Toastmasters, IOF and the PC Party in earlier years.

He was a gracious host to all visitors and was known to bring out the harmonica and accordion to entertain his numerous guests.

Clarence will be remembered by a multitude of recollections for his proficient abilities as a personal; tutor, mechanic, carpenter, plumber, electrician, engineer, driving instructor, chess player, puzzle solver, historian, statistician, accountant, politician, debator, inventor, chauffeur, guidance counsellor, master of ceremonies, tour guide, coach, cheerleader, musician, singer, comedian, Ukrainian Butterfly and Polka dancer... to name a few. He had so many talents and interests, except for cooking.

Dear Pops,

You defied the original prognosis from 20+ years ago that you'd only have another year to live. Your one goal was to see your grandchildren graduate. You achieved that and dealt with unimaginable pain in the process, never once did we hear you complain. Those blue eyes, that sense of humour, your kindness, courage and strength lives on. Please know how much you are loved and respected and how sorely you will be missed.

Love Icle

​

A private viewing and cremation have taken place. A memorial and interment will be held by the family at a later date.

​

Clarence's family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by watching the photo-biography above. Please, also consider sharing your own photos, memories, and stories by making use of the comment section on this page.
