Pappy Clause liked to tease. He had a large roll top desk in the basement where he smoked his cigars. Always had an ice cube tray of homemade ice cream in the freezer. Picture him in a straw hat and white linen jacket...he used a cane.
When I was a small child and visited him he would find a 50 cent piece to give to me and cried when we would leave. I only remember seeing him several times.
