Clarence was born in Stratton, Nebraska on December 30, 1946, to Lewis and Elizabeth Hidy.  He grew up working side-by-side with his dad on the family farm in Trenton, Nebraska.  After a hard day’s work, he loved coming home to a good home cooked meal prepared by his mom.

 

Clarence was a lifelong railroader, starting his career as an agent-operator in Wiggins, Colorado in 1967.  He retired after 40 years of service from BNSF Railroad.  He spent his retirement years tinkering with computers, building websites, documenting his family history, and enjoying time with his many friends and family members. He had a lifelong love of camping and spent many wonderful days camping at Benbrook Lake at his favorite spot site 88. As a lifelong Huskers fan nothing made him happier than chatting with a fellow Nebraskan after he relocated to Texas.

 

Clarence was preceded in death by his parents Lewis and Elizabeth (Heinbigner) Hidy; his baby brother, Jerry Hidy and his half-brother Don Heinbigner.

 

He is survived by his wife, Susan; his children, Lisa Hidy, Shelly and Dan Dietderich and Matt and Mari Hidy; grandchildren, Jakob Scantlin, Ryan Dietderich, Katelynne Dietderich, and Wyatt Hidy; his sister, Joyce and Jim Wann; nephews, Gary and Sherry Wann, Dan and Michelle Wann and Brian and Stephanie Wann and many beloved cousins.

 

Clarence’s family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Kanu of Fort Worth Renal, Dr. Simpson of Fort Worth Heart and the many nurses at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and Texas Health Harris Heart Center in Fort Worth for their loving care during his illness.

My heart is broken over the loss of Clarence, it seems like he was always a part of my life. My dad's co-worker and best friend and later, dispatcher for my husband. I always knew Gary was in good hands when Clarence was at the helm, he was the best dispatcher ever. I am, and always will be happy that he was such an influence in my life and will keep his memory tucked in my heart until I meet up with him again. I know my dad met up with him and they are having a great reunion, I smile at the thought. He was my rock whenI lost dad way too early. Know that we are thinking of you all and keep you in our prayers. Hugs to you all.

My dad lost not only a coworker, but his best friend this week. I’m sure he will miss the many phone calls & their time together. I’m so grateful for Clarence and his wife for being there for my folks & for my family over the years. True friends are hard to let go, but we will be reunited again. Thanks Clarence and all our love to Sue. Go Bid Red!

My deepest condolences to Clarence’s family. I had the privilege of working with him on the railroad in McCook. He was not only a great guy to work with, his ability to dispatch trains was one of the best! I loved working with him…it saddens my heart to hear of his death.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
