He enjoyed welding, collecting and repairing old engines and tractors, sharing his chokecherry pie and chicken dumpling soup, the ?Holy Land Experience? and world travel. He loved telling stories about his growing up years. He was preceded in death by one infant son, Clarence Jr, his parents, his brothers Richard Dohrmann and William Severson, his sisters, Florence and Carol Dohrmann and his beloved wife, Lorraine.
