return. After the war, they had 4 daughters (Penny, Debbie,
Kathy, and Patty.
They resided in Detroit until
their respective deaths. Dad (Clarence K.) passed away May 30,

After the war, he became a street

The Detroit Streets and Railways. He was a wonderful man, who
loved his family, respected his country, and treasured his
friendships. They now have 10 grandchildren (1 deceased) and 2
great-grandchildren. My sisters and I keep the memory of our
parents and the service they both provided to this country
vividly alive in our children's minds.
