Obituary of Clarence R. Atwood
Clarence R. Atwood, age 76, of Troy, PA began walking his dog (Spirit) in heaven on Thursday, November 21, 2019. He was born on December 13, 1942 in West Hill, NY, a son of Clarence and Edith (Robbins) Atwood. Clarence was the faithful, giving, and loving companion of Donna R. Foulkrod who he married on July 7, 1972. He provided for his mother after his father's tragic and deadly tractor accident. Clarence was the very caring father of Kathy Jo and Alfred.
Clarence was a member of the Austinville Union Church. He worked at several different places including Ingersol Rand in Painted Post/Corning, American La France in Elmira, GE Foundry, Trinity Foundry (formerly GE) in Elmira, various farmers from Springfield, and the Animal Care Sanctuary for 19 years before retiring. Clarence loved to walk his dog and would help anyone. He would give his last penny to anyone who needed it and not think anything of it.
Clarence is survived by his wife Donna; son Alfred James Atwood of Troy, PA; daughter Kathy Jo Atwood of Williamsport, PA; sister and brother-in-law Betsy and Bill Dehn of Spencerville, MD; sister and brother-in-law Betty and Harry McClure of Horseheads, NY.
