My sympathy to Lloyd J. Clark(Clarkie) family. You must believe the entries by Carol Richard Oswald and Joy Richard Warren. These are my daughters who dearly loved "Clarkie". They always spoke of him with such affection. If all peoples were so kind,as Clarkie we would never have problems in this world. He was what I consider a GREAT man.

Having just read my sister's message, I am brought to tears thinking about Clarkie's passing. He was truly a blessing to our lives when he came to visit us. Any time I think of growing up on the west side of Columbus, I can't help but think of Clarkie. He was instrumental in keeping three young kids interested in church, youth group, camps, etc. My heart goes out to his family and friends because he was truly a wonderful man. Carol Richard Oswald

When I was around the age of 6 Clarkie became a comfort in my life that has stayed for 43 years and no doubt until my own passing. I'll never forget his smiling face and the feeling of kindness that he always had. Our family was struggling, parents nearing divorce, my sister, brother and I attended Westgate Friends Church. Clarkie would visit and bring prayer to our home (along with his smiling face, love, compassion and hugs). For years I wanted to see him again and so I called a year ago missing him as he was off to a meeting. Thinking I would call back, I am sad that I won't be able to do that now. He was truely an angel on earth, I know, he carried me through rough times and will stay in my heart forever.I pray for strength and peace for his family at this time. I am sure his angel wings are all around you, protecting you. With Love for Clarkie, Joy
