Clarence "Gus" Mathison, 95, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday afternoon, September 21st, at Ben Hur Health and Rehabilitation in Crawfordsville.

He was born on October 26th, 1926, in Anderson, Indiana. He served in the Merchant Marines during World War II and the U. S. Army during the Korean conflict. He worked as an auditor for General Motors, and he belonged to Fishers Point Church, as well as the Scottish Rite. He was an accomplished fisherman and roller skater.

He was thoughtful, kind, and selflessly generous. He could be stern, but he was always fair. He was highly knowledgeable in a great many areas, and he was happy to share his expertise when asked. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and he shared countless mutual in-jokes with his two sons.

He loved his family deeply. His presence will be profoundly missed by those who were lucky enough to have known him.

He is survived by his wife, Bernice Clark, to whom he was married for nearly 70 years; his children, Dr. Jeffrey (Ruth) Mathison of Orange Park, Florida, and Dr. Barry (Diana) Mathison of Crawfordsville; his sister, Ruth; seven grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be at 3:30 PM, Friday, September 30 at Hunt & Son Funeral Home with visitation beginning at 1:30 PM.  Burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery South.
