A resident of High Point, most of his life he attended his elementary schooling at Baldwin Chapel School and later attended T.W. Andrews where he played football for the Red Raiders. He was a man full of life who lived his life to the fullest!! He had an impact on everyone he met.
He was known for his outgoing personality, witty sense of humor and flirtatious ways.
In his early years Joe Les delivered groceries on a bicycle that was much larger than himself with an oversized basket.
He later went on to being called "the ice man" delivering ice to many businesses. His passion was entertainment. As an entertainer, he had a way of being flashy with his appearance winning "The Mack of Year Award". To dazzle the crowd, his imitation of Louis Armstrong and his rendition of James Brown was on point, from a smooth dancer to becoming a masterful DJ spinning the records on the turntables.
Joe Les found transformation of life while attending TROSA. He graduated recognizing and embracing his responsibilities as a son, brother, father, mentor and friend.
Joe Les is preceded in death by his parents; siblings: Joan Givens, Janice Clark-Payton, Robert L. Clark, Charles W. Clark Sr.; daughter, Kim D. Hunter
