Mr. Clarence W. "Clancy" Overkamp, age 87, passed away on March 26, 2020 in Muskegon. He was born on December 7, 1932 in Muskegon to Harry and Jennie (DenHartog) Overkamp. Clarence worked for Consumers Energy for 34 years as a Supervisor, prior to retiring and working for the U.S. Postal Service for several more years. He enjoyed bowling, hunting, golfing, playing cards, and softball which he played into his 70's. On May 11, 1951, he married the former Clara Osburn and together they almost celebrated 69 years of marriage together.

Clarence was also preceded in death by a granddaughter, Jacqueline Carlson; and two brothers, Gerrit Overkamp and Martin Overkamp. Due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak concerning social distancing, private family services will be held right now until they can hold a larger service and include the many friends and family that they know would want to be here.
