Clark and Anna have a true love story, a love of a lifetime, a kind of love that can never be broken not even in death. They were married on March 4th 1961 at The Methodist Church in West Glens Falls, NY. Their love here on earth lasted for 65 years. It started as a seed and continued to grow from the moment they met. Clark and Anna were always seen holding hands and never went to bed angry with each other. They said that was the secret to lasting love. It was such a blessing and inspiration to see the love the two of them shared. They are true soul mates and will meet again someday in heaven. From their beautiful love they were blessed with 8 children, 3 boys and 5 girls, whom they raised together in a humble home with an abundance of love.

He took great pride in his work. Clark had a great passion for repairing and working on antique cars and at one point had a pretty good collection he was proud of. He also enjoyed working on old radios, gadgets, anything electrical. He had a great compassion for animals, especially caring for stray cats that needed a home. He was a huge wrestling fan and would never miss his Monday night wrestling. He loved listening to fifties and sixties music with his wife Anna. Fishing was also a love of Clark's, he enjoyed fishing with his sons and family. Clark would light up any room he entered with his big spirit.
