One of dad’s great joys and passion, was to coach and watch hockey. He coached many teams throughout the years and enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and Canada with the hockey team and their families.

 

Clark enjoyed friends and family, boating, fishing, reading, and watching his favorite television shows!  Dad also loved being a volunteer during Spring Training for the Padres and Mariners at the Peoria Sports Center, in Peoria, Arizona.  His favorite place was our home in Manila, Utah (Flaming Gorge) where he loved spending time with family and friends.

 

After retirement, Clark and Tamra spent their time between Manila, Utah and Sun City, Arizona. Dad loved the mild winters of Sun City and all the facilities it had to offer them.  He has great friends and neighbors in both Manila and Sun City.

 

Clark married Mary O’Leary, his lifelong friend, on April 15, 2023, in Sun City Arizona.  Although they only had a few short months as a married couple, they lived life to the fullest.  Dad was able to take Mary up to Flaming Gorge were they both enjoyed spending time with the family, and most of all, the grand kids and great grandkids.  Memories cherished.
