Clarence was born Jan. 29, 1931, in Mandan, to Nicholas and Mary (Fischer) Glaser. He was educated through the eighth grade in Glen Ullin and worked on a farm.

Clarence returned to North Dakota and went to work for Burlington Northern Railroad for the next 40-plus years, until his retirement as a conductor in 1993.
