Clarence Eugene Hollingsworth

Clarence Eugene Hollingsworth died in Savannah on August 25, 2026. He was 82. Born on August 11, 1944, with African American roots that shaped the table more than the flag. He learned early that a day is something you finish, not something you wait for. He counted cargo under a sun that did not care about manifests. His clipboard never left the cab, and the union hall still uses his system. Colleagues still mention a clipboard that never left the cab. He married Ruby in 1966. They kept a house that stayed modest when the neighborhood did not. They raised a daughter through public schools and ordinary weather. After Ruby died in 2019, he kept the routines that still made sense: the walk, the garden, the Sunday call. Neighbors remember covered dishes that arrived without a speech. He liked early mornings before the heat or the noise. He died in Savannah, among streets he never needed to explain. The key is still under the same brick.
