We wish to express out sympathy to all the family in the death of Clarence. We saw him quite often when he was in the nursing home because he was just around the corner to LaVerne Carlson(Jim's sister). I am a daughter to the family of Godhielf Schlecht or a sister to Oliver and Chester. Of course they are all passed away but yet Clarence was always one whom we got to know through the years. He was very special and we had a fun time with him. Jim and Murhel
