I was a young Sgt in the Air Force in the mid '80's and used to bowl and hang out in the pro shop where Andrew worked at Davis-Monthan AFB. Good times!

Clark Family,
My sincere candolences to your family on this sad occasion! Andy was one of the good ones, and there aren't enough of 'em left. He left you some big shoes to fill, but I know y'all can handle the challenge. I'm better for knowing him, and will miss that grin of Andy's when I walk in the shop next time! Keep the faith and know that the bowling community is not as fickled as some would have you believe! We all know he's in a better place, and looking for us to throw that next 300, with the ball drilled at Andy Clarks Pro Shop!
May God Bless You All !

I would like to thank all his friends and bowling buds who have signed his guest book and left such wonderful comments. He was a great brother and I will miss our weekly calls. My heart goes out to Jan and his children. He was so loved by his family.

To Jan and family,
We hadn't bowled
in a year or so, and we happened
to bowl today at Cactus, and wondered why the pro shop was closed. Our hearts were saddened
when Jay told us. JR always would go see Andy to do his balls because, he was so talented and he helped JR with his game by giving him advice. Andy is in a better place with the Lord, but I know how much he will be missed by everyone.
We can't think of the memories of our son bowling without thinking of Andy. Good ones indeed.
God Bless
From the Butts Family

So sorry for your loss. I know he was loved by all. When I heard about this, 23 May and after the fact, it was totally unbelievable. I first met Andy at the Base Pro Shop in the 1980s. He drilled a ball for me and from then on, he drilled all of the balls for my family and friends. I am sure that you miss him as will the entire bowling community he served. He was a gentle, kind, down-to-earth, listening man. The Best.

Jan our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We know how much he meant to all of you and to us as well. He loved the game and maybe because he has connections with the "bowling god" he can help me and Chelle out in our "300" pursuit. I'm sure he'll be watching.

There was just no one else in Tucson that we trusted with our ball drilling and that could provide such great coaching advice. And Andy was always such a fun friendly guy to chat with. Andy's passing is a tremendous loss for his family and also for the entire Tucson bowling community. Our thoughts are with his family - know that he will be deeply missed.

Jan and the Clark family, I was sure shocked and saddened to hear this news. It was always a pleasure when my job had me visiting the pro shop. I wish I had known Andy more than just as the pro shop guru, but what I did know was that he was a very kind and caring man. I will sure miss him. God Bless

Andy will be greatly missed, not just as a quality ball driller, but as a mentor, and mainly a friend who was always there with an encouraging word.

Don't think of him as gone away,
his jouney's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living,
in the hearts of those he touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost,
and he was loved so much.
We will miss you Andy. You will always be remembered.
