So very sorry to hear of Clarence’s passing. He has always been a very special uncle to us. Sympathy to all family members but especially dear Peggy. Clarence was a loving man and he will dearly missed but never forgotten.

My Moms brother and as we are the “Western” family have not seen him for awhile. He and Peggy attended Moms 90th birthday celebration and so enjoyed the time we had. Will always remember his practicing his Tai Chi on a lawn in downtown Nipawin and gathering a crowd to watch!

We will remember Clarence as a genuine, kind, and caring man who always had a sparkle in his eye. He was so helpful at Coldwell Banker events, and he will be dearly missed. Our sincerest condolences to Peggy, Donny & Laura, and families.
Love, Steph & Jamie

It has been a trying year for the Denomme family, and all connected to them. Clarence was a wonderful warm person,with a very caring manner. I still have the bronze eagle ascending that Clarence gave us when Rosie and I were married, and still cherish the memories it brings. R.I.P. Clarence, life was good to you.

We are sending our deepest condolences to each of you. Clarence was such a wonderful person. May your memories give you peace. Thinking of you and your family Peggy.

My deepest condolences Peggy and family. Your memories of good times shared over the years will comfort you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sharon Brown

Uncle Clarence, one of my favourite people, warm, kind ,a real gentleman. Pretty good sense of humour too. Years ago late into a night of euchre our group was hungry . It being corn season, Clarence suggested that he, his brother Donnie and I pile into the truck and raid a neighbour’s corn field. I filled the bag with corn as Clarence and Donnie applauded my efforts. We returned the Moore Family farmhouse and I dumped the spoils of my effort on the kitchen table. Clarence led a round of laughs as the boy from the city wasted his time picking cattle corn. I am glad and fortunate to have met this man.

My sincere sympathies to all of Clarence’s family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Sending our condolences to Peggy,Michelle,Tony, Peter and family. Remembering a little road trip a few years ago and Clarence tried to convince me what party to vote for in his calm and quiet manor. Not sure he was right and not sure he was wrong ! Cheeks, as he would call me & Jerry Pickett. RIP Clarence

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Denomme Family. Our heart goes out to Tony Michelle and Peter, for the loss of a Great Man. I still remember babysitting at Mom an Dads house on Ontario street many years ago. Our prayers are with you all.

Peg and Family – We moved into “The Back Yard Hood” nine years ago. Little did we know the blessings that came with it. We have shared many adventures with Clarence and Peg, cards, lunches, sharing our sweet treats, swapping tall tales on the back decks. Eric and Clarence cutting a bees nest out of a tree at 10 o’clock at night (safety first boys), Peg supervising of course. We always enjoyed Clarence’s yearly gardening exploits from marigold, tomatoes and sunflowers (which the squirrels loved). Last year he tried his hand at growing corn. The cobs only matured to about 1 inch – Clarence tried to tell us it was popcorn corn. The rhubarb has been his most successful gardening adventure to date, we are still enjoying it. We won’t even mention about Clarence’s n??ners that he share with the hood at lunch. God’s speed Clarence till we meet again. Hugs Peg and Family

Well, it’s with much SADNESS that we bid farewell to our neighbour, friend, an institution in Clinton/Goderich and true, honest gentleman.

Much loved by so many.

A unique character of whit, positivity and a gem of a mensh. We are REAL:LY going to miss him.

Enjoy the other side to where the ferryman has brought you dear Clarence

It was always enjoyable to meet up with Uncle Clarence. He was a great listener, always interested in whatever was going on and always had a twinkle in his eye. Years ago, when I was maybe in my early 30’s, he shared with me a bit of important wisdom I will never forget, and it has contributed to my life in a positive way ever since. I will always be grateful for that and I will miss him. For those of my cousins and extended family who called him ‘Dad’ or ‘Husband’ or ‘Uncle’ like me and for his dear friends and neighbours in whose lives he played an even much more significant part, I share with you my condolences. Definitely the definition of ‘a life, well-lived’.

We are so sorry to receive the news of Clarence’s passing. We have so many happy memories of him to cherish. Unfortunately circumstances do not allow us to attend the funeral. We will be thinking of the family at this difficult time and send our love. Janet and Les

Michelle, Peter, Tony, Peggy and families….sincere condolences to you all. Always remember Clarence with a smile on his face! Sending hugs and prayers 💕

My sincere sympathy, Peggy and family. Clarence was a long time friend. Loved all the good times we enjoyed together.
John really enjoyed the cribbage games.
Isabelle

I have had the privilege of knowing Clarence for a long time, and he was a very kind and considerate indivual .
We were poles apart when we came to politics, and over the years we had a lot of fun teasing and bantering back and forth. During the Harper years, Clarence found great joy in Emailing me and telling that there are either small pockets of dissension showing up, or as time grew along the pockets kept getting bigger and bigger , and he warned me to seek refuge under Justin’s guiding arms. He will welcome me unequivocally.
He always had that glint in his eye and that broad smile after, reassuring you it was all in fun and no harm tended.
Dawn and I enjoyed our several get togethers with Clarence and Peggy on their trips to Eastern Ontario.
Thank you Clarence for your friendship.

Sincere sympathy Peggy, Michelle, Peter, Tony, and families with the passing of Clarence.
He was a very kind and gentle man and will be missed by many.
Thought and prayers are with you all.

Dear Peggy and family, Our heart felt condolences on the passing of Clarence. He was a wonderful person and we loved spending time with him at family gatherings. There were a lot of laughs playing cards. We will miss him. Love Neil and Christine

Sending my condolences. I’ll always remember Clarence doing Tai Chi and going on hikes longer than I did at the cottages we stayed at together. He was an amazing man.

Our deepest sympathy to all the family. Uncle Clarence will be dearly missed. His welcome hugs, infectious laughter, funny stories about the family growing up and all the euchre parties will be told for generations. Our love to you all.

We are so sorry to learn of Clarence’s passing. He was a helpful weekly visitor, here at Goderich Place, before the pandemic and we so looked forward to his Tai Chi sessions. He was an excellent teacher, with his calm demeanor and a role model for the rest of us. Our sympathy to his family. Ralph and Eleanor Smith

Our sincere condolences to Peggy and the Denomme family. Clarence was a very gentle man. We knew Clarence through the church and Kinsman Club in Clinton.

To Peggy and Family I extend my deepest sympathy at this very difficult time.

Sincere condolences to Peggy and the entire family. We have many wonderful memories of time spent with Uncle Clarence during our visits to Clinton and Goderich. He always welcomed us into his home.

Dear Peggy and family, We send our sincere and heartfelt condolences on the passing of Clarence. We have so many wonderful memories of the visits to Victoria. Whether it was a walk on a beach, a trip on the ferry to Saltspring Island to climb Mt Maxwell, or a dinner of oysters Clarence dove right in with enthusiasm. Cribbage games were a regular occurrence and his winning streak continued through our visit last summer. As a game went on he would say “are you sure you want to play that card?” with a twinkle in his eye and a sly smile that made us question our play. We will miss him but we are so much richer for having spent time with an extraordinary man.

Sincere condolences to you, Peggy, and your family.

To Peggy and Family: Our sincere condolences to you on your recent loss. keep all the treasured memories .

John and Linda MacDonald

Dearest Denomme family, My sincerest condolences go out to you at this time. I have fond memories of the family as long as I can remember. Many play dates with Tony at the corner of Raglan and Ontario streets. Clarence and my dad were both Kinsmen members and they spent alot of time getting together in the early years. I have photos of them at Finch’s snowmobile shack when the Kinsmen club got together. Clarence and the Kinsmen also spent countless hours at the Clinton raceway, building it up. Even over the years at the furniture store I would stop in and visit Clarence. And then in 89, I was fortunate enough to be asked to photograph Clarence and Peggy’s wedding, Such a special day. Wishing you all strength and happy memories of Clarence. He will live forever in my heart as well.

Dear Peggy
I am so sorry to hear of Clarence’s passing and our sincere sympathy to you and the rest of the family. I really loved Clarence and so much enjoyed working with him. He was truly a very dear soul. I wish we had known of his passing and had been able to go to Goderich for the service.
Much love, Nancy

I met Clarence through our mutual friend, musician, Jeff White. I marvelled at Clarence‘s devotion to his friend, driving him to Newfoundland to promote Jeff’s song collection dedicated to the Beothuk people. Of course, it was a big adventure, but it was also a long drive! One day I saw Clarence with his tai chi group down by Lake Huron. It was his 85th birthday, and he looked as lively and flexible as a young man. He credited his flexibility to tai chi. He told me that he had had pain and stiffness in his joints in his 50s, but tai chi had corrected it. The clarity of his eyes and the liquidity of his movements struck me as the result of years of dedicated tai chi. He no doubt has tai chi groups going in the next world. Keep ‘em moving, Clarence!
