Clarence Thomas Herring of Sheridan, Arkansas was born October 29, 1951, in Alto, California the son of the late Clarence T. and Oza Mae Herring. Clarence served in the Army during the Vietnam conflict and was very proud of his service to his country. After his time in the military, Clarence spent most of his days working out in the woods as a loader operator. As a true outdoorsman, when he wasn't in the woods working, he'd be either hunting or fishing and would bring his son and grandsons any chance he could. Clarence was also an astounding golf and pool player and was member of the Longhills and Burns Park golf courses as well as the American Poolplayers Association. He was a family man and loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, teaching them and just being there with them was one of his greatest joys in life.
