Judith Essex says
We are Clarence’s neighbors and feel so sad to learn that Clarence had been ill and was in a nursing home. We certainly would have visited had we known. I had shared flower starts from our yard and he always walked over to let me know when something was blooming. Just a few weeks ago I took strawberry starts and hung on his gate. I noticed they hung there a couple of days, but then were gone. So thought he must have been away from home a couple of days.
He was interesting to visit and talk with, had such a kind and giving heart. We are sadden to know that he is no longer here on Church Street. Please feel free to call us. Richard and Judith Essex 317-902-3006
