Lester Armps Clark, 93, passed away peacefully at home on March 23, 2011 after a short illness. He was surrounded by much of his family in his final days. Les met Polly, his wife of 68 years, after the Los Angeles earthquake in 1933 (she passed away in 2OO5).They moved to Scottsdale in 1957 and finished raising their family there. Les was a passionate and award-winning salesman for Ohio Match, mentored by Norton Simon, and ultimately started his own food brokerage business in Phoenix in 1957 with a dear friend, Fred Shobe. Les and Fred later merged their business with Dick Barr, creating CBS Marketing, Inc. Les retired in 1982. He & PoIIy traveled the world and were avid RV enthusiasts, stopping across North America wherever they found a great looking golf course. They ultimately exchanged their RV for a modular summer home in the beautiful White Mountains of Arizona. Survivors include daughters Judi Jonas (AI), Bonnie Harry (John), and Debbie Weller (David), 11 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at Bethany Community Church, 6240 S. Price Rd, Tempe on Saturday morning, April 2nd at 10:30 am. A celebration of Les' life will follow.
