COOK, Clarence Stewart

Today's New-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ - Posted: Sunday, June 8, 2014 - Clarence Stewart Cook passed away Saturday, May 31, 2014. Clarence was born June 11, 1936 in North Carolina, the youngest of seven children. Clarence lived a life full of adventure at a time when a man could make his own way with just a dream and some courage. Clarence was a natural businessman who flourished in the dental business, running his own lab in Ohio for more than 40 years. Clarence was a fun-loving man who saw the best in everyone he met. Clarence worked with the formerly incarcerated and gave them jobs when most would not give them a chance. He also reached out to those children who had lost or had no father figure at all, showing them love and compassion. Many of those same children today flourish because of the compassion, concern, and love Clarence showed them. One in particular stated “The world lost a great man today, it will never be the same without him”. Clarence was blessed with three children Leisa Cook (husband Mike Womble), Chris Cook (wife Lisa D Cook), and Dan Cook (wife Rema Cook). Clarence was also blessed with a beautiful granddaughter Maisa Cook. Clarence also taught his children to love without measure and have compassion for those less fortunate. They are all wonderful examples of how a man, who loved without judgment, can raise such loving children. Thoughts and condolences can be sent to Clarence’s family at www.lietz- frazefuneralhome.com. Arrangements were place under the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory.
