Clarence lived in my neck of the woods and was quite the fixture here. Beloved is not too strong a word.
I encountered him many times at the local watering holes and in my gym. He was like a big, happy puppy dog. Always gracious and friendly.
This is a nice story about two fan’s encounter with the Big Man. In my experience, this was typical Clarence. His heart was even bigger than his body.
Rest In Peace, Big Man.
