Sorry for your loss. I worked with Clarence in parts at Lohmann motors in 1971 and we had a lot of good times together
he will be missed but is in a much better place.
James L. Arneson says
I remember buying parts from your dad. Living in the neighborhood when I was a kid and buying our first Derby car from him. I am sorry to hear of the loss of such a kind hearted man, a dad, a grandfather and great grandfather. May God comfort you during this time of sorrow. May the memories always remind you of better days.
Bob and Kathy Chapseske says
Your Dad (and Mom) will always have a special place in our hearts. We were neighbors for forty years and I can’t remember ever not having over the fence visits. They were wonderful neighbors. If we were outside your Dad would come to visit or if he was outside sitting on the steps, we would visit with him. He will be missed and we will always remember him with a smile. God Bless you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure getting to know Clarence while he was at TLC. I will miss listening to him get so excited while watching his game shows and letting me know what the weather report is. He was a joy to talk to and joke around with. My shifts at TLC will not be the same without him. ♡

Dear Krausz Family,
I am saddened to learn of Clarence’s passing. Clarence and Janice were good friends and I
felt honored when they asked me to be an attendant at their wedding. We had good times
together; it was quite a thrill to “cruise around” in Clarence’s beautiful car. I will always be grateful for their friendship during our younger years and I will hold in my heart the memories of those happy days.
Clarence was a good man and he had a good long life. As time passes and brings many
changes, one thing we can always count on is that God will be there for us. He will be there
as you say goodbye to your beloved Clarence. My prayers are with you also.

I remember Clarence delivering parts back in the mid to later 80s when I worked at Frank’s Body Shop. I would help him unload. Nice guy. Sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.
