Dear Hal and Nan,
My condolences and our prayers are with you. My apologies, I just heard about Mr. Clarke Sr.'s passing when I read the Georgia Bar Journal. I was honored to work for the firm Gambrell, Clarke, Anderson & Stolz as a young lawyer. What an incredible legacy he left for so many lawyers here in Georgia. What a legacy he left for the world by his example of service, professionalism and kindness to others.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were lifelong friends of my parents, A.B. and Wita Padgett. Always the perfect southern lady and gentleman, they epitomized all the wonderful things about the south. They hosted a beautiful party for us when we were engaged to be married, now 53 years ago. Mr. Clarke was instrumental in our son's admission to Washington & Lee. He left an indelible mark on Atlanta and all who knew him. May he rest in peace. Our love and deepest sympathies to Mrs. Clarke and the family.
