Clarence was a fine man. The past 2-3 summers he spent time at the Mountain Home City Pool where I am a lifeguard. He has shared many stories with us about his family, which he loved so much. Clarence showed up to the pool 2 summers ago with with over 30 new noodles for us to use for our aerobics class since our old noodles were falling apart. He was a joy to have at the pool and all of us guards will miss having him around in the summers.
