Clarence Laird passed away February 13, 2001 at his home in Salt Lake City of complications of cancer. He was born May 12, 1914 to Matthew A. and Sarah Denton Garrett Laird in Eureka, Utah.
Clarence married Ellen Elizabeth Senn in Payson, Utah on December 19, 1936. They had two children, Clarence Elden (Sherylene) Laird, Salt Lake and Sharen (Dale) Hamilton, Kamas. Ellen preceded Clarence in death in 1972. Clarence was a 32-degree Mason and belonged to Argenta Lodge No. 3, F.&A.M. and was a member of the Scottish Rite of Salt Lake City.
He served in the U.S. Army during Word War II and was a Master Machinist. After the war, he worked as supervisor and foreman of machine shops at Eimco Corp., Thiokol, and the Galigher Company. Clarence was a mentor to many young people and taught his trade with pride and respect. There wasn't anything Clarence couldn't fix.
He married Anne M. Newman on April 21, 1975 who survives him, along with a stepson, Stephen L. Newman, St. Louis, and many of Anne's children and grandchildren.
