And being someone my children knew and loved and also respected!! So Uncle CC we love you until we can’t anymore!!! Love us Crazy Cobb’s / Bj, Bunny, Dj, Emma! Just know I’m gonna miss pulling up in the Safeway parking lot just to say. Uncle CC let me spin doughnuts in your truck. For you to say, get on niece. I’m not in the mood for you!! I love you ❤️

I had the pleasure of working with Clarence over the years. I did not get to know him that much personally but from my experiences with him I could tell he was a good man and a hard worker. He would outwork those 30 years his junior. We did not always agree but I respected that about him.
I will miss him. All of us will miss him!

I am so sorry, my deepest sympathy and love to the family. I heard he was in the hospital. Mr. Clarence always had a hug and a laugh for me. He was such a nice person. I am going to miss seeing him. Praying God's loving arms of comfort around the family.

RIP...Clarence. 
We always talked on the Show Floor,where we first met. You asked me where I was from and I said Surry VA down in the country, every since then every time you saw me you said "what's up country", and I would say "what's up rocky mountain"! All the things we joked and talked about i will surely miss. I will meet you one day RIP.

Cuz, I looked around and you had gone. Shocked when I called to check on you and he told me you had left us. Thought it was about time take another trip back down to Macclesfield . Missing you already but I know you are resting in peace. Say “hi” to Bud and Liz for me. Clarence, until we meet again.

CC, you were a good man to so many. You helped me out a lot while growing up and you were also there for me as a man. I remember you taking me on my first college trips and even teaching me how to drive a little when I was young. These are memories that will never go away, just like you will always be there. Rest In Peace.

 Heyyy unk I love you man. Unk was one of those ppl that kept me going. The unexpected calls the love you gave the hope you gave me as a growing young man. Always told me you believed in me. Meant so much. Words can not explain. A man of a great heart. Always made me laugh feel protected and did far beyond.  I'll never forget that talks and the rides ive had with you while leaving the dmv area to go back north. Before and after boxing matches and getting banged up telling me you was embarrassed hurt so bad. I love you unk. Until then...
