To the entire Clark family: Memories of John in our (much) younger days.. with his El Camino.. cruisin' Speedway.. everybody knew John.
He worked hard to build a wonderful life.. and was always about family. He will be sorely missed by many. May all your happy memories bring you strength during this difficult time, and joy again soon after. You all have a new Guardian Angel.. he will be with you always.

When my father passed away, a friend who was Lakota Sioux told me that I would see him again. He would come to me in the form of one of God's creatures, a Red Tailed Hawk, a deer, but I would have to believe it was him. I have since seen my father many times. Johnny loved the outdoors so I know we will see him again as in life his spirit was strong. We will miss you dear cousin, please say hello to Grandpa and Grandma....
