Not sure what to say?

Dear John and family,

I didn't know your father/grandfather well having, as I recall, met him on only a few occasions, but I certainly knew of him and of the love and high regard his family and untold numbers of others had for him, for his accomplishments and, more importantly, for the kind of person he was.

His legacy is abundantly evident in each of you, his children, and, I'm sure, their families. HIs was a life well-lived for all of his 107 years. What a man! And...

The administration, faculty, staff and especially the students of Southern Virginia University wish to extend their sympathy and heartfelt thanks to the family of Dr. Russell B. Clark for his devoted service to education. Few people have had such an impact on the education of young people at so many different institutions of higher learning. The students here will long remember his devotional talk to them on the occasion of his 105th birthday and two years later at age 107 when he and his son...

The Larry E Allen family extend our love to each member of Dr. Russell B. Clark's family. To meet Dr. Clark was an experience one can not forget. He was an example of total positive attitude. We all felt he loved each of us. He is a most remarkable man that will not be forgotten.

To the family of Russell B. Clark, Beverly, John, Barbara, Robert and Sephen, I remember your family when they moved to Long Beach, CA and then to Artesia, CA and the 'teen-age swimming parties at your home in Artesia. Your father, Russell Clark, sat with my mother, Ina Beckstrand, at her husband's (Elmer) funeral June 2006 to comfort her since her children were all participating on the memorial service program and could not sit with her. He was so kind, considerate and thoughtful and thank...

Thank you Russell for you service.

My sincere condolences, especially to one of "my residents", Dr. Rob Clark, whom I have always admired and proud to be a product of the University of Utah's Family Practice Residency Program. I'm sure the senior Dr. Clark has a broad and lasting legacy for good that will benefit many forever.

As a childhood member of the very colorful North Shore Ward in Chicago I have fond memories of Brother Clark and his family, and I send them my congratulations on his amazing life and death.

Aloha,

I first met Dr. Russell Clark when he was 105 years young and wanting to start a new adventure in Hawaii because he felt like doing so! He bought a house! He continues to be an inspiration to us all.

He had such a positive enthusiasm. He talked about buying new suits. He explored the GEM vehicles to skirt around the need for a driver's license. He loved parties and luaus.He loved the scenery.

He was a perfect gentleman. Sometimes I drove him to...

The family farm of my father -- Walter E. Clark -- adjoined Springdale Farm in Georgetown (and is now part of it). Growing up in Idaho we eagerly awaited the Labor Day visit of Dr. Clark's father and his brothers, octegenarians all; so also the yearly arrival of the Cadillac from Chicago bearing our favorite second cousins, Dr. Clark's children Beverly and John (whom I have continued to encounter over the years in Cambridge (Massachusetts)and London (England). Dr. Russell Clark was, and is,...
