It was October 12, 1927, in Belzoni, Mississippi, when Hosie and Alice Robinson McCoy praised God for the birth of their son; and they called him CLARENCE!
The family lived in Isola where Clarence grew to become a fine young man. While living in Isola, he attended high school in Kosciusko, Mississippi. The McCoys moved to Jackson, Mississippi, and shortly after, in 1943, Clarence relocated to Chicago, Illinois in search of greater opportunities; and he did. indeed, find opportunities. He met and married his wife, Billie Harris McCoy, with who he would have celebrated a union of forty-four years on June 24, 1994. They were the proud parents of four children.
Rich opportunities continued to come to Clarence. He worked as a Medical Technician in the United States Air Force where he served honorably for 3 years. He was employed at Hall Printing Company, Howard Foundry, The United States Post Office, and for 30 years at the Chicago Board of Education. Clarence was dedicated and hard-working, he served all of his employers with a genuine commitment to getting the job done well.
Clarence truly enjoyed people, his friendships meant a lot to him. He was an ambassador of goodwill, always seeking to make others comfortable. An avid bowler, Clarence often told the story of how he bowled his highest game of 279. His 20-year membership in the Ike Rivers League is a testimony of his love for bowling.
Clarence and Billie raised their children in the Christian Faith. He was a member of Christ Universal Temple until his transition on June 18, 1994.
He leaves to cherish his most precious memories: his loving wife, Billie; four children: Lydia, Clarence Larnell, Sharon, and Reginald; one daughter-in-law, Lisa; one son-in-law, Reuben Taylor; five grandchildren: Angela, Tracey, Wesley, Chelsea, and Winston; one sister, Bernice Thompson (Otis); one brother, Hosie McCoy (Alma); five sisters-in-law: Luella Williams, Loumit Holland (Thomas), Gloria Jean Singleton and Juanita King; two brothers-in-law: Brealon Donaldson (Clara) and Clarence Harris; three special aunts: Cora, Ida Bell, and Fannie Alice and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
