Clarence Richard Evans, age 81, of Frogtown, passed away on February 8, 2015 at the Golden Living Center in Clarion. Born on April 20, 1933, in Fairmount City, he was the son of the late Irvin B., Sr., and Mary Elizabeth (Dwyer) Evans. He married the former Shirley McAninch on June 19, 1954 and she survives. Last year, they celebrated 60 years of marriage. For more than 40 years of his life, he worked for Millers and Maple Mountain as a lawn and garden mechanic. Clarence helped many people with their lawn mower problems. He just couldn't tell people no - until his health declined. He was a member of Nevin Memorial Church and also attended Liberty Street Church of God in Clarion, where he was known as the "Candy Man." He enjoyed giving candy and love to the children. He really enjoyed that ministry and making children happy. He loved the Lord and spending time with his family. They will miss him deeply.
