Clarence David Hardy Jr. passed away on November 19th, 2018 in Lafayette,
Louisiana surrounded by his family and friends.

Clarence was a God-fearing family man of integrity, respect and purpose as God
made him to be. He loved his life and his family deeply. He was a passionate
mechanic who loved building and working on antique vehicles of all types. He was
a renaissance man. No one was a stranger, he was a storyteller, a joker, and had
many friends from all walks of life. He was a role model to many young men. He
had a wonderful retirement after a 38 year long career at Hercules (now
LyondelBasell) where he was a machinist. Clarence proudly served in the United
States Army from 1966-1969 in Vietnam as part of the 1st Aviation Brigade. He
was also a lifelong member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and a proud member
of the VFW Post 7321, American Legion Post 551 and the Teamsters.

He leaves to cherish his memory Maureen, his loving wife of 38 years
