Born to Clarence and Lilly (Vogt) Wisecup in the same small Iowa farmhouse his mother was born 30 years earlier, he attended a one-room schoolhouse -- literally walking uphill both ways in the snow -- until they moved to Longmont, Colorado in 1946, where he graduated from High School in 1954. He first attended Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington and was a member of the college chorus which travelled throughout the country and then toured Europe with the All-American Chorus in 1956. Instead of being drafted, he enlisted in the Army in 1958 and was first stationed in Washington with a Nike Missile unit and then Colorado Springs with the Army Air Defense Command Choral Group, which performed on notable TV shows like Art Linkletter, The Bell Telephone Hour, Arthur Godrey Show, and ended his service in 1962 with a concert at Carnegie Hall in NYC. He went on to graduate from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in history and later returned to finish a master's in public administration. He joined J. C. Penney Co. and moved to New Mexico where his first daughter, Kerri Michelle Wisecup, was born. In 1965 he joined the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as a Public Health Advisor and served for 33 years. During this time, he served in Kansas City and Denver with the Syphilis Eradication Program during the peak of the "hippy movement", then switched to the Immunization Program in New York to help respond to the swine flu pandemic. From there he was sent to Arkansas, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and Indiana to administer their state immunization programs. His final posting was to Maine as an advisor on immunization activities and liaison with the CDC. He married Elizabeth Faye Timmons of Windham, Maine on June 19, 1971, in Longmont, Colorado. He met "Liz" in the VD Clinic in Denver...an answer to how they met that always caused a moment of silence and some giggles…where he was an investigator and Liz a nurse. They had two children, Kathleen Elizabeth and Michael David. After retirement in 1998, he became active with different local organizations. He and a relative traveled New England in search of "old" tractors to repair…which were new when he grew up. He joined the Maine Antique Tractor Club, first as the newsletter editor and then as president, during which time he helped grow the club to over 600 members. He was an active member of the Portland Community Chorus and sang for 20 years with the Magic of Christmas Chorus at Merrill Auditorium. In 2010, he was instrumental in helping start a senior center in the Windham/Gorham area which continues to serve over 90 seniors In the Lakes Region. He served on the Board of Directors and wrote the newsletter every month for many years. One of his most pleasant activities was driving families attending Camp Sunshine where he got to meet people from all over the world. Clarence is preceded in death by his parents, sister Joyce, brothers Russell, Harold, and Dennis, and daughter Kerri Michelle. He is survived by his wife, Liz, daughter, Kathleen (Carlos) DaSilva, son, Michael (Emily) Wisecup, grandchildren Jacob (Hannah) Wisecup, Chloe Allen, Justin Distel, Chelsea (David) Hornbaker, Sarah Distel, great grandchildren Maddox and Shiloh Hornbaker, Ainsley and Emma Distel, and Oliver Jacob Wisecup (who is due in July 2024). He wished that any gifts in his memory be made to Camp Sunshine at Sebago Lake, 35 Acadia Rd, Casco, ME 04015 or the Windham Veteran's Center, 35 Veteran Memorial Drive, Windham, ME 04062. Services will be held on April 20, 2024 at Dolby, Blais & Segee Windham Chapel, 434 River Rd, Windham, ME 04062. Visiting hours from 12-2pm and service at 2pm.
