Not sure what to say?

I played hockey at College of DuPage with EJ where he lead us to a National Championship in 1980. He was an outstanding leader and a team player.
I will always remember EJ as someone -who changed my life...G-D bless you EJ and you family.

I remember E.J.as an infant, because his sister, Laurie, was my first friend ever and her baby brother, E.J. was a part of that friendship. I, also, recall his friendly spirit as child and young man,when
we ran into each at Proschs' Pharmacy many, many years ago. I will long remember and love the Earl Clark Family as will all of my family. Prayers and Love to all of you. Kathy Hubbartt Stuker, Sugar Hill, Ga.

I would not be in the position I am today professionally if not for EJ's mentorship. I learned most of what I know from him. He was not only a great boss to work for he was truly a great friend and I will miss him dearly. Even though we were separated by miles after EJ and Doreen moved to FLA I always enjoyed catching up with him and keeping in contact. God bless you EJ, Doreen and family.

We first met EJ about 6 years ago at the County Trail Pub. It was always a pleasure walking in and seeing him as the bartender. He always had a joke or a friendly smile or a comment about those "darn Canadians". EJ always had something positive to say about something and he always played Fred's favorite song "What Do You Get When You Play a Country Song Backwards". Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the last 3 years with him as we had to move to Canada but we did keep in touch by phone....

Smart, tough and authentic. E.J. was the real deal. Loved being around him.

In 1964 I became a friend of EJ's. We played countless hours of baseball and other sports. EJ never left by heart. My prayers are with EJ and his family.

Doreen, Joe & Nick,
E.J. was a very bright, fun-loving guy & a wonderful addition to the family. He will be remembered for all his strengh & caring ways. He will be missed. He & all of you are in my thoughts & prayers.
All my love always,
Janet

We learned of Mr. Clark's fantastic spirit and sense of humor from our colleague, his dear daughter-in-law, Amanda. All of us at News 13 send our love and best wishes to the Clark family and we join you in celebrating his life and his loves.

What a huge loss for a wonderful family. I'm so very honored to have gotten to experience some "EJ" fun during his time on earth. I hope the Clark family knows what a powerful angel they now have looking down on them.
