Clarence G. (George) Lohrenz

Clarence left the family farm at an early age and began his life in the oil patch, where he would spend his entire career.

He served 2 years in the Army from January 15, 1957 to January 15, 1959.

Clarence worked in the oilfield all his life — it was the only work he ever wanted to do. He started out pulling slips and built his career from there.

He married Carol Riggs in Plentywood, Montana on July 12, 1963. They celebrated their 58th anniversary on that same date, often marking the occasion at the Wildcatter’s tournament over the years.

Shortly after getting married, Clarence started Hi-Line Trucking Inc. Together, they raised two sons, John and Wayne.

The Wildcatter’s was always a lot of fun for Clarence and Carol. They enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Both the Wildcatter’s and Senior Wildcatter’s were a big part of their lives for over 40 years.

Clarence played in the Wildcatter tournaments from 1974 to 1994, and in the Senior Wildcatter tournaments from 1995 to 2016.

“It was great. Thank you to all the hard working people who made it the success it still continues to be today.”
