Clarence was born in Winnipeg on January 3, 1929. His early life was spent in Winnipeg. In 1937 his father had a company transfer to Cochrane, ON.

In 1943 the family was transferred back to Winnipeg where Clarence completed his education. Most of his working career was spent in Alberta. Some of his employers included Westinghouse, Ford Motor and Calgary Power. In 1989 he returned to Winnipeg to help an ailing parent where he resided until his passing. He always retained a keen interest in outdoor life.
