Clarence organized, transported, coached and encouraged the junior baseball team I and my 2 brothers played on in Pontrilas in 1948-9, the best 2 summers in my life. 4-5 years ago he wrote about in in the Nipawin Bridge paper.
18 months ago I stopped in on Clarence and Jean. He remembered the old days with enthusiasm. Jean was so chipper, bright eyed and with it she reminded me of the chick-a- dees who keep us company in the dull of winter. Clarence always said his dad did not mind it if Clarence played ball all week-end and tuckered out but he was expected to show up for work early and enthusiastic on Monday AM.
Now Clarence would say live and laugh and love as he did but when Monday comes carry him gently in your hearts but do not forget to keep on living.
