I''m going to miss you Metzy, you were the best neighbor a kid could have growing up ... I''ll always have those memories. I''m also happy I got to see you a few months ago when I was visiting my aunt in Mayville. My condolences to your family, may we all be lucky to see 94.

To the relatives of Clarence Metzdorf, It is with real sadness that I heard about Clarence,You have my deepest sympathy. I used to be a housekeeper at Mayville Rehab and Nursing knew Clarence for about 6 months and I was very happy to have known him. It Always made me happy to see him and talk to him. I only had heard him play his concertina a few times and i always recall the smile and total enjoyment on his face and I remember the times a relative came to play cribbage with him. He was a very special person to alot of us that knew him. May God be with you all and may God keep him under his wings. God Bless Anthony Wolc
