Joseph Clark Obituary
May 8, 1942 - June 21, 2023
Raleigh, North Carolina - Joseph Matthew Clark died peacefully the afternoon of June 21, 2023. Joe had heart disease for decades but recovered from every crisis. After his latest episode in April 2023, he celebrated his 81st birthday, his 50th wedding anniversary, and Father's Day.
Joe served honorably in the U.S. Army as a SP4 E4 1964-1966. Joe was employed by Burroughs Wellcome for 28 years, first in finance and then as fleet manager. He moved on to Qualex, a Kodak company, as fleet manager. He was an active member of the National Fleet Management Association, spearheading the formation of the Carolinas Chapter, which split from the Atlanta Chapter.
Joe was a consummate sports fan. He loved the New York Yankees. In typical Joe Clark style, he attended the NHL Eastern Conference Semifinals Hurricanes game in Raleigh in May 2023.
Joe is survived by his wife, Charleen Voeker Clark; four children; Stephanie (Patrick Lewis), Annemarie (Curry Phillips), Patrick (Danielle), Kevin (Sofia Schramm); and seven grandchildren; Nathan and Andrew Lewis; Ava and Camryn Phillips; and Ryan, Emma and Tyler Clark.
The Funeral Mass will be offered on Monday, July 24, 2023, at 1:00 PM at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. Family will receive guests in the church atrium one hour before the service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Catholic Charities (catholiccharitiesraleigh.org). Condolences: RFHR.com
