Clarence is survived by his wife of 63 years, Betty, their children Katherine, Judy, and Clarence, four grandchildren, Ryan, Blane, Weston, and Taryn, and his son-in-law Daryl Seidler. He is preceded by his parents Clarence and Effie Belle, and his brothers Thomas and Jesse.

For most of his life, Clarence worked in the structural metals industry and owned two businesses, Boltco and Pruitt & Clark.

After his family, Clarence’s true passion in life was raising and racing Quarter Horses. He loved every aspect of raising horses, from breeding, to raising a foal, to watching them at the track.

He was an avid sports fan and particularly loved watching the Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys, but still had a fondness for the New York Yankees and his childhood hero Yogi Berra.
