Last year, they celebrated 60 years of marriage. For more than 40 years of his life, he worked for Millers and Maple Mountain as a lawn and garden mechanic.

He was a member of Nevin Memorial Church and also attended Liberty Street Church of God in Clarion, where he was known as the "Candy Man." He enjoyed giving candy and love to the children. He really enjoyed that ministry and making children happy. He loved the Lord and spending time with his family. They will miss him deeply. Clarence is survived by his four sons, Richard and his wife Pat of Deanville, PA, Greg and his wife Nancy of Chesapeake, VA, Gary and his wife Cindy of Roseville, PA, and William and his wife Laura of Newmansville, PA; 12 wonderful grandchildren, Rani, Derick, Brady, Aaron, Heather, Amanda, Arianna, Tanner, Lia and Parker Evans; Juan and Thomas Isaza of Columbia, South America; two beautiful great-granddaughters, Gwendolyn and Cassandra Evans.
