Dear Craig and family, we just learned of Clark’s passing and were so sorry to hear this sad news. Craig, we have so many memories of you while you were growing up with Scott. You were an important part of our family and through you we were able to get to know your dad. He was a very nice, gentle and kind man. We will always think of him with gratitude for selling his boat to us. We’ve had MANY years of enjoyment with this boat (and own it to this day). Every time we are on the boat we talk about your dad and smile at his memory. We are thinking of all of you with sympathy and please know that your dad touched many lives and it was good to know him. It would be wonderful to hear from you, Craig, when you are able, . Our whole family continues to think about you and the memories you were part of for many years.
Clark,
I miss u more than u know. Your Happy smile and your nice words. You left one son, and what a great
son u left us! See U again in a another world!
Love,
Valeri
Craig what you said is so beautiful!
I am sure your father is so proud of you as you are of him. Clark was a great person and i have some fond memories of our visit to Cleveland, Ohio many years ago.
Our family is truly blessed to have have the great pleasure of having you as a neighbor and friend. All of us including Austin, Kaylan and Bella (the dog) will miss talking and sitting outside and enjoying the best things in life, children’s laughter and the sunshine and great spirits!
You son and sister are going to need you to look in on them and hold your arms around them from time to time.
You did leave a huge impression on our family in the short time we have know you. I’m thankful for our last time we spent together, when you, Craig and our family sat outside. That is how I will remember you! I am happy you decided to finally rest. Your job here was finished. God bless you and you family.
You always gave your best in everything that you did in this life and never complained or said a negative word about anybody. I am sorry that you had to endure so much pain. I will miss talking to you on the phone. But this I know that your suffering has ended and look forward to meeting with you again in heaven.
love you,
Dennis
My Dear brother and Brother in Christ:
How I loved you and thank God that I was able to take care of you. We had some real struggles in obtaining help for you. You were such a trooper. I was amazed how you kept going. Being so ill and all. A little support from family and friends kept you going. You were so strong. God gave you as my brother, a gift to all of your brother and sisters. I now in turn give you back to God. You were such a gift. Thank you for all your support. I know that you loved it when people said we were a team, or when you were claimed to be part of a team. You were a team player my dear brother. I thank God for putting you into my life. Love, Sandy
Clark was a very humble man who gave us a quiet support and secure home when I was growing up. He asked for nothing much but our love and laughter and yet sacrificed so much for his family. For example, I remember when I was about 12 he took me to a store because he had to buy gloves for his very physical job. I saw something I wanted but did not need. He only had enough money to buy the gloves. As we stood in the check-out line, he quietly put his gloves back and grabbed the ‘thing’ I wanted and bought it for me. I don’t remember what he bought me. I don’t remember anything he said. I just remember feeling love…and the personal sacrifice he made to make me happy. That was the Clark I will always remember and love. We faced some personal issues and obstacles when I was young (particularly because I was the oldest) but when I became an adult we made our peace with the past and found strength and forgiveness in one another. His memory will live on in all our hearts and I rejoice in the knowledge that we will be together once again in a much better and brighter place. RIP Clark.
My dear brother you are one of a kind. I am so sorry of all your suffering. You are now in God’s hands and I know he will take real good care of you until we can all meet again in heaven. You will dearly be missed. All the years on earth you never complained about how people have done you wrong, you just kept plugging along and that’s what made you so great.
See you in heaven
Love,
Sharon
So many of my childhood memories include Uncle Clark laughing. I think the last time I saw him was at my wedding and we danced together. Craig, you have been amazing through all of this. Your dad was very lucky to have you there to take care of him. All my love to you both. xx Carolyn
Craig,
Your father was a part of our family for many years. We always had fun as a large family during the Holidays. You were the best thing that ever happened to your dad. He loved you so much. I am really proud of the man you have become. You took wonderful care of your father while he was sick.
Love you,
Aunt Diane
Dad,
I miss you more than you know. I am so honored to say you were my father down here on earth. You taught me to love everyone for who they are, and all the good that is in me is from you. You are the most positive person I ever knew. You never once complained while fighting the cancer, you were so strong through it all!. I am so happy that I was here with you to spend the last month of your life with you. I cant wait to spend eternity with you in Heaven. I love you so much Dad, and will miss you every breath of my life till we meet again! Love your son Craig. p.s. I wear your cross around my neck, so your always with me.
