Clark's life was filled with joy, love, and happiness participating in all activities that he enjoyed which included RV camping, radio-controlled airplane enthusiast, golfing, and grilling.

I had forgotten that Clark was near my age. Gone way too soon. I worked with Clark at Lycoming Air Services, an FBO, Williamsport Pennsylvania in the 80´s. He must of just been out of Flight School. When I worked with him he was just climbing up the aeronautical ladder. Lost track of him since that job. Glad he served as Captain with a major airline. I can still picture him standing there with that smile, more than likely after one of his jokes or just coming up with a new nickname for someone in our group. Great guy, happy to have known him.
RIP. Captain Harmon.
Denny Holt. KIPT.
