It was a privilege and honor to work with Clarence at the 934th during Unit Training Assemblies. He was always willing to go above and beyond and will be missed. Thank you for your service and rest in peace.
Clarence helped me in many ways during his time in the 934th LRS. He looked out for others and served his country well. He was a fellow Airman and a good friend.
Clarence was an outstanding person and a great reservist! He was a joy to work with and someone I enjoyed being deployed with several times. He would go out of his way to help anyone. Rest In Peace my friend.
Clarence was an absolutely great guy, he always went beyond what was needed on the drill weekends. He always had a story to make you laugh. He was a patriot all the way. He wore his uniform proudly. He was a good friend during our times in the LRS unit. He will be surely missed by all of those who knew and worked with him. Rest in Peace my friend.
