Robert L. Clark, Jr. passed away on April 29, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 75. He is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Debora (née Stites). He is also survived by his three children, Andrea Shah (Neenad), Amy Clark, and Adam Clark, as well as his grandchildren, Kiran Shah, Devan Shah, Lily Clark, and Nathan Shah, and his sister, Linda Teeters.
Son of Robert L. Clark, Sr. and Elnora Abraham Clark, Bob was born and raised in Cincinnati, spent much of his adult life outside of Philadelphia, and spent much of his later years in Florida. He attended Madeira High School where he was known as a scholar and an athlete, then studied at the University of Cincinnati for his bachelor's degree followed by earning his PhD at Yale University. He dedicated his career to the study of reproductive toxicology and earned a respected reputation in the field.
At home and with work friends, Bob was always interested in organizing group activities. He was known as a lover of games, particularly if there was a competition involved that he could win. Those who knew him will remember his lighthearted sense of humor and quick wit.
Visitation will be held at Thomas-Justin Memorial, 7500 Montgomery Rd.(45236) Kenwood, on Friday, May 9th, from 10am until the time of the funeral service at 11am.
