It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our husband and father, Clarence Eugene Capjack on May 14, 2020, at the age 80. He was born October 3, 1939 in Elk Point, Alberta. He passed away with his family at his side after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Clarence is survived by his wife of 56 years, Linda (Macaulay); daughters, Lisa Ludwig (Jamie), Gina Capjack (Jody Remezoff); grandchildren, Aidan and Madelynn Ludwig, Emma and Evan Remezoff; brothers, Orest and Lawrence Capjack and sister, Arlene Burton.

Clarence had a rich life as a professor of Engineering at the University of Alberta for 36 years. He enjoyed golfing, biking, skiing, hiking, flying, building radio-controlled airplanes, and creating amazing woodworking projects. Clarence loved spending time with his family and 4 grandchildren. His brilliant mind, kind nature and happy presence will be missed by everyone.

We are grateful to the kind and caring staff and doctors at the Cross Cancer Institute and the University of Alberta Hospital.

Following Clarence’s wishes, we will celebrate his life in private.
