Our sincere sympathy to Joanne and family.
It was an honour and great privilege to work with Clarence over our many years at B M Ross. He always made sure that everything was done properly and that everyone was pleased with the final product of any project he worked on.
We worked on a lot of different projects and one that comes to mind was one of his early inspection projects for Burns Ross in Southcott Pines. Burns gave me Clarence’s diary of the project to do the “as recorded” drawings and I was the only one at the time able to figure out his notes after going over them with him. Clarence had all the information, but it was written all over the page depending on what direction he was facing when he was recording his notes. Burns , Clarence and I would have a good laugh after putting things together on the drawings and it was always correct.

To my best friend Joanne Doherty and all her family, my family’s sincerest condolences. Clarence to me just seemed a really sincere all-round nice guy — a quiet gentle family guy respected by everyone.
I remember one year visiting Joanne at the farmhouse in December and on my way back to Toronto. I think I mentioned needing some tree boughs and pine cones for an office decorating contest I was part of. I think he chopped down a forest of trees on his lot to fill up some garbage bags of pine boughs for me!! [I won]
