For Clarence, the best part of this job was meeting Shirley, who was working part time at the Star Service Café while attending school. This quickly turned into pumping gas, greasing cars, oil changes, repairing tires and mechanic work. In 1961 he got a job at the Elfros Star Service, painting the service bay. He worked on several other farms and then in the oilfield doing a variety of jobs. In 1949 he was given the chance to work on the telephone lines, climbing poles and stringing wire until the Fall of 1956. He did whatever work he could find, from unloading coal cars for National Grain to working on farms as a helping hand. He left school at the age of 15 to help support the family, working on the farm and at the North American Lumber Yard.
He took this role seriously and was proud to be able to help take care of his siblings throughout their younger years. His older brother Wilbert passed away from pneumonia at the age of one, making Clarence the oldest child of the family. He was the second oldest of seven children, two brothers and five sisters.
