LANGE, Clarence Henry, loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed away Saturday, November 30th at age 94. He is survived by his devoted wife of 74 years, Mary Lee (Donovan); his grandchildren Erica Kiefer (Nick) and Robert Lange; his three great grandchildren, Gabrielle, Logan, and Amelia; other family members whom he loved dearly including Susan, Shiloh, and Caleb; and many good friends. He was proceeded in death by his parents, Henry and Katherine Lange, and his children: Sally and Terry.

Clarence was a long time member of St. Barnabas Catholic Church, and later at St. Margret Mary. He was a WWII Navy Vet, and served in the Pacific theatre at the Battle of Guadalcanal. He was a proud graduate of St. Xavier High School, class of 1943 and a long time employee of the L&N Railroad.

During his life, Clarence was able to travel from coast to coast, and was a proud sailboat owner for over 20 years. He enjoyed square dancing with his wife and was a very talented artist.

Even at 94 years old, Clarence had a big personality and made friends everywhere he went. He always had a big smile and a joke to tell. The world was a better place because of his presence and he will be sorely missed.
