Clarence H. Mumme Jr. of Hondo passed away Monday, June 8, 2015, at the age of 79. Born October 26, 1935, in Hondo, he was the son of Clarence Harry Sr. and Rosa Mary Reus Mumme. Mumme's, Inc. was founded by Clarence and his father. It grew from an egg hatchery, located in Hondo and on the family farm, and expanded to an agri-business company with four locations. In 1964, he opened an International truck dealership in Hondo, located where the Medina County Tax office is currently, and later expanded to include Farmall tractors. In the early 1970s, Mumme's Inc. moved from downtown Hondo to its current location at US 90 and FM 173. He believed in treating his employees fairly and many stayed with him for 30 years or longer. Known to many as Junior, he was a longtime president of the company, but his true passion was driving 18-wheelers. He was always eager to take his children, grandchildren or nephews on trips in the truck. Clarence was called upon by various committees at local and state levels to provide expert opinions related to agriculture. He served as a director for the Texas Feed and Grain Association. His first crop was yellow corn, planted on 320 acres of his farm. Upon his retirement, he enjoyed working on his farm. Clarence was baptized as an infant at First Methodist Church, Hondo, and affirmed his baptism when he was confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church on April 10, 1949. He married Betty Harrell on May 26, 1956, and they became active members of St. Paul Lutheran Church. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his son, Mitchell, and sister, Andrea Proctor. He is survived by his wife of 59 years; daughters, Diane (Russell) Meyer and Annette (John) Billings; brother, Charles (Alice) Mumme; brother-in-law, TL (Charlotte) Proctor, all of Hondo; grandchildren, Eric Meyer, Stephanie Billings Moye, Sarah Meyer and Justin Billings; and three great-grandchildren, Dustin, Caylee and John Moye. Funeral service was Thursday, June 11, 2 p.m., at St. Paul Lutheran Church, followed by interment at Hondo Cemetery, Oakwood Section. Bearers were Juan "Shorty" Chavana, Eric Meyer, Justin Billings, Mark Tovar, Brad Mumme and Matthew Mumme. Memorials may be made to St. Paul Lutheran Church or the charity of one's choice.
