Clarence is preceded in passing by his parents, Carvan and Magaline Burman; his brother James Burman; and his sister Margaret Bell Stumph. Here to continue Clarence’s legacy are his son, U.S. Marshal Gary Burman, and his daughter, Dr. Karen Pearn. He is survived by his brother, John Burman, and his sister, Doris Metcalf.
Clarence proudly served his country while enlisted in U.S. Army. Later, he established Burman Insurance Agency and successfully operated the agency well into his 80s. He was a charter member of the Elizabethtown Baptist Church and a devoted supporter. Committed to the betterment of his community, he was an active member of the Lions Club of Elizabethtown.
Clarence’s favorite activity was being outside- whether traveling around the world or simply working hard on his farm. Often called an amateur historian, he will always be remembered for his boundless knowledge of World War II and his incredibly strong work ethic.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to the Elizabethtown Lions Club, 2520 Ring Road Elizabethtown, KY 42701.
