Gary Lee Clark

Gary, you are missed!

I taught with Gary for years at Prairie High School. I remember having many heartfelt talks with him. I love him. There was a time when we ate salads for lunch and staff brought wonderful things to contribute; I remember Gary bringing tasty veggies from his garden. After Gary left PHS, it was a joy for me to run into him at school; at that point he was working with "teachers to be". I have been praying comfort and peace to the family and friends of Gary.

Sorry to read of Gary's passing. I went to school with Gary from the 1st grade onward, through high school. Have lots of fond memories of our grade school years. Not sure if Gary was a photo saver, but if not here's a photo of Gary's 1st grade class, where it all started.

Melanie and family: I did not know Gary personally but only heard good hings about him.Its hard to loose someone who has been in your life for ever. Remember the good times and cherish them.My deepest Sympathy, Your friend Joann Grant

Gary was inscrutable--quiet enough to be a mystery, but with a basic philosophy one could read if you worked on it.

He was a speech teacher with the rare ability to provide direction and yet leave the student with an intact ego.

He lived as an independent on the hill with his garden and building being proud accomplishments.

As part of the Prairie High School carpool culture, he shared a piece of his life that is remembered by those who rode along.

Condolences and warm thoughts to all who mourn Gary's passing this Saturday. I always remember him as a person of zest .. who gave me, a friend of his two daughters, room to be myself... wish I could be at the service Melanie and Dawn...

Gary will be greatly missed. Much love to you Susan

Our condolences to Susan and the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you honor the incredible man that Gary was.
Gary and Susan have given me their extra plants for my garden the last few years. Much of the produce was passed along to the poor as I was able, and I know Gary & Susan appreciated that. Gary also shared some gardening information which was helpful. He will be dearly missed by all of us that knew him.

I love Gary and I have so many memories of him. He taught how to not just speak in public, but to speak eloquently in public. Sometimes he would play the devils advocate just to make you support your opinion. He lived the way he wanted to live and I have a lot of respect for that. I can't go into all of my memories here, but suffice it to say Gary will be missed.
