My condolences to Clarence's family. I first met Clarence when I started bowling at Classic Bowl. We were bowling in the same league for many years. I miss him already. I would see him every Tuesday, league night. He was such a great person to know.

SHERRY MCCLURE

Dear Mr. Blanchard (Mr. B) it was wonderful to spend the time with you, with Cathy, with everyone on our family as we celebrated your and Katie’s same-day birthdays. I know your mom, dad & best friend will be glad to see you but we left on earth are going to miss you a lot.

What a determined soul, a wonderful storyteller and a great teacher of life in general. I’m grateful to have experienced a sliver of his time. He will forever be synonymous with San Francisco to me and will remember him every time I see the Golden Gate Bridge which is almost daily. I hope he’s happy upstairs knowing he did well down here.
