John
You came into my life at a time when I was without direction. You were more than a Football and Wrestling Coach to me. You were a best friend. You gave me a push and I fell the right way. I would not be who I am today without you. You have finally found Peace.

We offer our condolences to the Clark family. Candy and I saw John many times at Crystal Care Center when visiting Candy's father. John was the wrestling coach when I attended and wrestled at De La Salle High School. Also,years later I boxed at John's "gym" in Roger's. Candy and I had many conversations with John over the years. He will be missed.

I extend my sympathies to your family. We met your dad at the local gym many years ago and we became friends. We had a little retirement party for him at our house. I lost my husband Gary to esophageal cancer in January of 07. My heart goes out to you. God's Blessings, Gwen Quick
