Clarence "Clancy" Propp, 71, passed away Wednesday, Aug. 4, 1999, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. A true friend to many, Clancy was born on Jan. 2, 1928, in Hesper, the fourth child of Tony and Katie (Heimbichner) Propp. Clancy lived his life in service to his family, friends and community. He was raised in the Billings area and graduated from Billings Senior High in 1946. He served in active duty in the Army in Japan and Korea from 1952 through 1954. On Sept. 5, 1948, he married his high school sweetheart, Delores Weldon, and last fall family and friends gathered to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Many will remember Clancy as a meat cutter at Spear Meat Company, where he worked for 35 years (and would share franks with nieces and nephews who would visit). Clancy could always be counted on during hunting season to cut and wrap wild meat. After he retired from Spears, Clancy worked at the Mile Away Tavern in Billings for 10 years. With the assistance of Delores, Clancy ran the concessions at Cobb Field from 1977 through 1990. Clancy loved baseball and served as the American Legion State Class A baseball commissioner from 1972 through 1974 and as the American Legion State baseball commissioner from 1974 through 1983. Clancy was always the life of the party and was such a kid at heart. He loved to be with people and was continually sharing stories or jokes. Clancy loved to share his "Hidden Valley Ranch" near Luther with family and friends. Through the years, Uncle Clarence entertained his dozens of nieces and nephews, great- and great-great-nieces and nephews with a visit to a movie on Christmas day. He was a generous man who was quick to slip a dollar or two into a child's hand. He was a member of many community groups, including the American Legion Post 4, the Elks Lodge, the Moose Lodge, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6774. Clancy was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Olinda Kembel; and a brother, Gilbert Propp. He is survived by his wife, his brother, Robert Propp, and wife, Dora of Billings; his sister, Phyllis Kautz, and husband, Elmer of Worden; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Lydia Propp of Billings, Maeona and Frank Smith of Billings, George and Doris Weldon of Missoula, Ben and Cindy Weldon of Woodburn, Ore., Clinton and Marge Weldon of Billings, Richard and Monica Weldon of Billings, and dozens of nieces and nephews. Uncle Clarence, all of your nieces and nephews, your "kids, " will miss you so much. Who will referee our play and who will entertain us with such comic gusto? Thank you for making each one of us feel special and for supporting and attending our activities. You were our guardian angel on earth watching over us, ready to help with your open arms and open heart. Thanks for always being there, Uncle Clarence. So long, our true friend.
