I always think of Clark when I am in the garden. He was the sweetest guy but also full of mischief. I frequently walk by his garden plot and think of him and his family.
We sure do miss him and his kindness in sharing his tips for gardening. ❤

Help them to recover from the hurt and pain of their loss. Give them the faith to believe they will see him again. In the name of Jesus. Amen

My heart is breaking for Pat and the family, but I know Clarke will be with all of us in spirit. He was a master in the garden at Seabrook Farms. He did so much more than plant fruits, vegetables and flowers. He planted love and friendships and cultivated kindness and relationships. Rest in Peace sweet man, you will always be in my heart.

Always the first person to greet newcomers into our neighborhood, Clarke made sure we instantly felt at home in HHP.

Our hearts were uplifted when he welcomed us to coffee on his deck, invited us to chat in his living room, warmly waved every time we drove past each other, shared incredible vegetables and gave wise garden advice at Seabrook Farm. Clarke was an embodiment of hospitality, generosity and kindness. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

My sympathy to Pat and the Rieck Family. From the time of my arriving in Hilton Head, over 25 years ago, Clark has been true and loyal friend. Marie and I will miss his sense of humor and optimistic outlook of the future. RIP.

I always looked for Clark when I was at the farm. I knew I was always going to get a joke and a hug. I will try to grow the best tomatoes in his memory.
Joe and I just loved him and will miss him so much. God bless his family and may he RIP.

My heart goes out to the Rieck family. They will miss this man as we all will but so much more. Clarke loves his family more than anything in this world. I consider myself lucky to have been part of his life. Rest In Peace my friend.

It was with great sadness that I learned about the passing of our friend Clark. Clark was a great president in our farmer's club and passed on his knowledge to many, including myself. At the farm, in the plantation, or around the island, I would always recognize Clark was coming by the big yellow M on the front of his truck.
