CRESSMAN, Clare “Shipwreck”
CRESSMAN, Clare “Shipwreck” Sept. 7, 1929 - Oct. 26, 2018. Born in Wilmot Township to Manassah and Olive (Gingrich) Cressman, Clare is survived by brother Earl and children Patricia (Bill), Paul (Susan) and Robin (Joanne) and their families. Clare lived simply, and he was always ready to lend a hand or fix a car, but his real love was horses. He was a natural-born horse whisperer and trainer for many years. Clare will be missed by special friends Sue and Bob Ellis, John Braid and Turk Whitehead, as well as his many friends at Grand River Raceway and the 404 Wing. Many thanks to the staff at Caressant Care, Fergus. Cremation has taken place. Family and friends are invited to the Mannheim Mennonite Church on Saturday, November 17, at 12 noon, for the interment, with a reception to follow.
