Clarence was born on November 30, 1928 on the family farm in Palermo Township, Grundy County, Iowa. He was the devoted son of Rudolph and Fannie (Itzen) Voss. Clarence was raised on the family farm and attended country school through the 8th grade. He then went on to graduate from Grundy Center High School in the class of 1947. After graduation, Clarence began working for local farms and later entered the United States Army, serving our country for 2 years. Upon his honorable discharge, he returned home and worked a milk route for Walnut Dairy which later became Anderson Erickson Dairy. In 1963, Clarence took over the family farm after the passing of his father Rudy. In 1977 Clarence and his mom moved from the farm into Grundy Center, but he continued farming until his retirement in 2012.

Clarence was a member of the American Lutheran Church where he served the church as a council member. He enjoyed snow skiing in Colorado for several years; taking bus trips to the Black Hills as well as Nashville and really enjoyed playing slots at the Meskwaki Casino. He loved visiting all of his friends at the casino and the employees at the casino treated him so well he felt like they were family.

Clarence is survived by his sister Ina (Joe) Ross of Grundy Center; many nieces, nephews; grandnieces and grandnephews; and he will be missed by all of his friends both in and out of the casino. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Harold, Paul, Carl, Ron, and Bill Voss; and his sister Leona Sparenborg.
