Michael Clark Obituary

Michael Clark

Michael Clark, age 77, died December 7, 2016. Michael, a Marine who exemplified the spirit of Semper Fi, was born in Stamford, CT and attended Northwestern.
After a career in print advertising, Michael became a Marina legend, making friends everywhere. Michael sailed the Bay in his boat, Pedos II, and was known for his baseball caps, a favorite inscribed with his Marina zip code, 94123. He was also skilled at dice. The perfect hand became known as a "Mikey".
Michael is survived by his brother, Chris, stepbrothers, Ray, Andrew and stepsister, Celia. A church service will be held at St. Mary's, Union/Steiner, on Jan. 25, 11:00 am, followed by a reception at the GGYC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice.

Thanks Mike for always being the greatest and kindest person to me. And thanks for the years and years of liars dice in the 80s and 90s . You will be missed in 94123.

Michael, I will always remember our trip in the Runner and the Easter sunrise. Except I had to mention the sun rises in the east.
I will always love you and miss you and you'll always be with me.
