Clarence Sylvester Ertman
Clarence Sylvester Ertman, the angels came for him on July 14, 2020 at 95 years 
of age. Clarence was born in Parisville to Bob and Emma Ertman on July 7, 1925 
where he worked on the family farm during his early years. Clarence was called 
to duty in the U.S. Army during WWII and was deployed to Okinawa, Japan. He was 
awarded many medals and badges of honor while he served as a Paratrooper and 
Sharpshooter.
When Clarence returned from the war, he married the love of his life Agnes 
Peruski. Agnes would fondly recall how the two started their relationship one 
night when Clarence gave her a ride home from a local dance. From that moment 
on he was hers. The two moved to Detroit where they started their family and 
had a daughter (Sylvia) and son (Jim). They celebrated 68 years of marriage.
After retiring from GM, Clarence and Agnes enjoyed traveling . Clarence loved 
classic movies, polka music, desserts, playing lotto, and doing yard work. He 
prided himself on being a good neighbor and keeping a nice yard. One year he 
even received a local "Neighbor of the Year Award."
Clarence is predeceased by his wife Agnes, brothers Norman Ertman, Jerry 
Ertman, Floyd Ertman and sister Gloria Ertman. He is survived by sisters Rita 
Cook and Marlene Kincaid, daughter Sylvia Ertman, son Jim (Kelly) Ertman, 
grandchildren Jenny Ertman (Steve Douglas), Jim (Becky) Ertman, Tiffany 
Santini, and great-grandchildren Adelina and Eloise Ertman.
Always a jokester, Clarence will be remembered for his spirit and his laugh.
Due to the current pandemic there will be no visitation or funeral service, a 
Mass will be said for him at a later date. We have requested a military Honor 
Guard to be at the memorial along with immediate family.

Additional Comments:
I knew Clarence and all his family from Huron County, Paris Twp.where I once 
have lived with my parents. I got to know Clarence and his late wife Agnes at 
Shelby Crossing Assistant Living where I visit Clarence n Agnes and then after 
Clarence for six year I feel very sad when I read his obituary last Sat. we 
became very good friends and talk about the past and people we both  knew on 
the farmer where we have both lived.
