I just wanted to add that Dr. Clark was given a very"rare,special" gift from God which he so graciously shared with his patients through healing. After 5 years in severe back pain , I saw Dr. Clark and I have been pain free for years!
Through out the years I worked for Dr. Clark I saw countless numbers of patients with a variation of health problems leave "pain free"
I knew his previous wife Marion very well and she was truly a "wonderful person".
My sympathy to the family.

Dr. Clark was not only a dear friend but an outstanding doctor, and one of the best bosses I've ever had during my career. I worked for him almost 6 years and there was not a nicer person in the world. You knew he was a christian man by the way he lived each day of his life with kindness,smiles, and a kind word for everyone.
Heaven has another precious angel.
