Charles Stuart Clark

Hardly a day goes by when I don't think of Charlie, and want to call him or meet up with him to discuss some fascinating new (to me) piece of Arlington history, knowing Charlie would already have all the details, the full story and background. He had a uniquely pleasant and kind personality, as everyone knows. I feel lucky to have known him and I miss him dearly. One of a kind. Tom Dickinson

Charlie Clark was always enjoyable as a great friend and he was also very talented as a goverenment executive. It was horribly sad when he passed. All of us miss him and cared for him.

Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of, and miss, Charlie. I keep two of his books right here next to me on my desk. A hundred times since his unfortunate passing, I have wanted to contact him to ask him a question, or share with him a story that I know he'd enjoy. He was a very special guy, a unique friend...I feel lucky to have known him. He is very much missed, by me, and many others. Sincerely, Tom Dickinson

We still miss you, Charlie!

Wow. I was really not happy to find out, or to hear that this excellent political scientist writer died. It is such a tremendous loss for the world. He was wonderful at making you think. My condolences , from Hawthorne, CA.

I just learned of Charlie's passing. He was one of the first people I met in 1979 when I returned from Iran and began working at Time-Life Books in Alexandria. He was sharp, stand-up guy in his twenties then. He was a star then, and I knew he would go on to achieve great things. My deepest condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear. I was only 2 days older than Charlie. His legacy will continue on. His passing makes me realize how we all must live and love everyday.

Missing in Charlie's many activities was his part in initiating Yorktown's "Hall of Fame," and I'm sure there are many such legacies of the great neighbor, citizen, writer, and family man.
