He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Judy Clark, of Campbellsville; a daughter and son-in-law, Ruthe and Todd Marsh of Linwood, N.C.; a son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Jennifer Clark, of Campbellsville; and a son Franklin Clark of Cadiz, Ky.

Tommy+s faith in God and his family were always his priorities, and Judy used to say that Tommy had two loves; art and her, and she wasn+t always sure whether she was first or not. He loved taking his children and grandchildren to the zoo, camping with Boy Scouts, planning and sculpting original birthday cakes for his children+s birthdays, coming up with off-the-wall Halloween costumes and sitting with a grandchild in his lap and drawing -pictures made to order+.
He spent hours inside and outside of the classroom working with students, sharing his talent and knowledge with them. He regularly exhibited in art exhibits, was a juried member of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen and the Kentucky Crafts Marketing Program.
