Clarence's Celebration of Life

Come join us for a special event honoring the life of our Beloved Husband, Dad, Brother and Friend, Clarence. We will gather in Midlothian, VA at American Legion Post 354, situated on the James River to share memories, stories, and laughter as we celebrate the old guy. This in-person event will be a time to gather as a community and remember the impact Clarence had on all of our lives. He was always teaching, leading, and living by example. We know that you have a few gems of his to share.


We've planned an 1100 ride out to his resting place, and then let's gather back at 1500 for the Celebration of LIFE with a Clarence-inspired Memorial Day Saturday bash w food, games, a DJ, stories, a solemn room, etc.


For those who can not attend, we ask that you consider making a donation to the Fisher House at Tripler and/or the Fisher House at Bethesda/Walter Reed, in Memory of Clarence A. Toussaint, CPT, US ARMY (RET), and allow us to be notified by email at: imocatsix@GMAIL.COM
