Chris and Diane,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a good friend of mine, and especially of my father. I always had a blast working with him through band. He was with me and my dad when I met my wife for the first time, and she loved him also. There are people in your life that become pillars. Your dad was one of my pillars. I will always remember the outstanding attitude he had while being around him. You were both blessed to have a wonderful father. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Love,
Greg, Kathy, and Kayla Heckmann

P.S. Words to TAPS: Fading light, dim the sight, and a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar drawing nigh falls the night. Day is done, gone the sun, from the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest; GOD is nigh.

Mr. Clark was a wonderful man. He was a great friend to my parents and my dad especially enjoyed his company and good times they shared in SV Band and Choral. I know he will be missed by all who knew him.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I know he must have been really special just by looking at his children.
