Clarence Joseph Danielski of Valentine, Nebraska passed
away on Friday February 12, 2021 at the age of 91.
Clarence died peacefully with his beloved wife Betty and
his family by his side.
Clarence was born in Genoa Nebraska on September 22,
1929 to father Andrew Joseph Danielski and mother
Kathryn (Gaver) Danielski. He married Betty Maurer on
October 25, 1950 and raised their family of six children on
a farm near Monroe, Nebraska.
After attending school in Monroe, Nebraska he gravitated
toward his love of farming. Clarence was largely a selfeducated, self-made man who loved the art of the deal
and making deals. In the late 70's he founded Danielski
Farming and Harvesting Company in Valentine, NE
In his early years he owned and operated Loup Valley
Construction in Monroe, Nebraska, a land leveling
excavation operation. In the early 70's he and his family
moved to Valentine and went into custom harvesting from
South Texas to North Dakota including the King Ranch in
Texas. His enthusiasm allowed him to stay active in the
family farming business until the age of 90 including
clearing trees on his D8 Cat. He also had a passion for
aviation which began at a young age, logging thousands
of hours as an accomplished pilot. Clarence loved people;
he never met a stranger he didn't like and he never went
anywhere without making new friends.
