Clark was always an incredibly hardworking family man, working three jobs during most of his life to provide for his family that he cherished. Clark was also a proud veteran, joining the United States Army after high school. He continued to support his fellow veterans throughout his life by volunteering and helping with many fundraisers. Clark met the love of his life and future bride, Patricia, on a blind date set up by Patricia’s cousin. They quickly fell in love, and married in 1963 at St. Dorothy’s Church in Warren, Michigan. Clark and Patricia were always very active for many years at St. Dorothy’s, and later in their lives became parishioners at St. Paul of Tarsus when they moved to Macomb Twp. Family was always everything to Clark! He cherished every family get together, and loved spending time with his children, their spouses and his grandchildren.  

Clark will be forever remembered by all who loved him.
