Just thinking of you. We love and miss you alot.

Dear Grandpa,
  You was the best grandpa any one could ask for. You would make me  laugh when i would come into the house with my hands full and ask me if i had a match. Then we would start laughing. I will miss your smile and the talks we would have. I will never forget you. Love and Miss You Grandpa
   LOVE Tania

Clarence,

You will be missed and thanks for taking care of " OLD BLUE "

Dear Grandpa,
You were always a rock in my life. You were there to show me how to work on my car because you never wanted me stranded. I remember climbing up on your lap as a little girl, even if it was wrestling you were watching I didn't care because I was on your lap. I will always be your Snickelfritz and although you are gone (to a much better place) you will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten! Please tell Great Grandma and Grandpa that I love them and miss them, and give them big hugs for me!
I Love You and Miss You!
~Love forever Amy

Dear Dad, Thank you for being my dad, I couldn't have chosen anyone better.You were always there for not just me and the rest of the family, but everybody else too.  It's hard to walk into the house and not see you at the table drinking coffee and reading the paper.  But I think the best thing you ever did was to take care of mom when she got sick, just like you promised her 62 years ago.  I will always love you and will miss you forever.  Love You, Penny.

I will always remember that Halloween when big David & David Jr. & Brittney put on their scary masks and rang your doorbell, you opened the door and everyone yelled "Trick or Treat" you asked who was the woman with the sad, ugly face, and I said "You know who I am" and you invited us all in for a cold drink of pop, then you poured ALL the candy into our bags!! ALL THE CANDY!!I love you and thank you for always treating David Jr. as your family! You will be missed and always loved!  David Jr's Mother~Kathy G.

Uncle Clarence I will never forget how much fun I had with you, how nice you were and how accepting you were. You set a high standard for the rest of us. Tell Grandma, Grandpa and my Mom I said Hi! Love you Cindy

Uncle Clarence you brought so much joy to your family and those that crossed your path.  Your kindness and love for your children, grandchildren and family will not be forgotten.  Thank you for the fond memories and most of alll may you now lay in peace.

Dear Clarence,

You are truly the last of a great legacy, a craftsman, a gentleman, and a fellow with a hell of a sense of humor.  I don't think there was ever a time I visited you that I didn't have a good laugh and learn something I could keep with me always.  My life has been touched and enriched so deeply by you and the people you influenced along the way.

Thanks for all the help and guidance over the years.  Your kindness and generosity never ceased to amaze me.  I will do my part to keep your legacy alive and to pass along a helping hand when someone needs it.
  
You are an inspiration.  And, you were right.  My Chevy ran just a little better with the Ford steel you welded into the fender (though I didn't want to admit it at the time).

Much love,  
Jeff

Dear Dad,
  You were the best dad any child could want. You were always patient and kind and loving. I rarely ever saw you angry. You were a great husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather. Anyone who need help in any way could ask you and you would help out. Everywhere I went with you, someone knew you and stopped to talk. I know you are dancing in heaven with grandma, grandpa and your sister Betty, but remember to keep an eye on us because we still need you.I will miss you everyday and always love you.
  Love from your daughter Patty

Dear Grandpa, 
I cannot express to you enough just how much I will miss you. You were always full of jokes and smiles, despite anything else going on around you. It always brightened my day. I will never forget your sense of humor. You used to always tell me it was "Two hairs past a freckle" when I asked what time it was. If I were to tell you I was tired, you would say "Hi, Tired! I'm Grandpa!" The jokes never failed to bring a smile to my face. I remember the stories you always shared when you used to drive me to school before I got a car of my own. You experienced so much and always wanted to share it with us. You were an amazing part of my life and your memory will continue to be a part of my life forever. I Love you, Grandpa!

I'll always remember that it was you, before you became my brother-in-law, that took me on my first motorcycle ride down W. Alameda.  I was still in
high school.  You were a great person then and you were such a great person for the more than 60-years that Betty, your sister, was my wife.  I'll miss you, Clarence.

Dad was always the best dad ever, everyone said so! Mike Coleman
Clarence, couldn't ask for a better father in law, he would do anything for you, I picked on him called him the mean old man, he called me the mean old woman, when we came to the house, he would say to mike, What you brought her with you. Clarence I know your with your folks, and your sister. Love Jill

Grandpa, I love you. You always had a twinkle in your eye and an ornery sense of humor and you loved us all no matter our flaws. Overalls and coffee will always remind me of you and I couldn't have asked for a better grandpa, and great grampy to my girls. I hope you are young again, healthy and not in pain where ever you are. I miss you. A lot of people miss you.

Uncle Clarence, there will be no one else in my lifetime like you.  You had a wonderful smile and sense of humor.  You always made me feel loved.  You accepted all people for who they were.  You are in Heaven now with your Parents and my Mother.  What a time Heaven is going to have now.  The angels will be signing with Joy.  I love you.  Jella (Jo Ella)

The angels will enjoy you there.  I will miss you and I love you.  "Jella" (Jo Ella)
