Let the memory of Carl William be with us forever
87 years old
Born on February 20, 1924
Passed away on January 1, 2012
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Carl William Clark, 87 years old, born on February 20, 1924, and passed away on January 1, 2012. We will remember him forever.
Happy, "Eternal" Birthday, Dad. I miss you. The phone calls of encouragement, our crazy jokes and laughter. You always sent current information on health, self help groups, and love all of your great phrases and words of wisdom. "Save some ,spend some, Thumb body loves you!!" I love you.
Oh how I miss hearing your voice! It has been 9 years since you passed. Miss you everyday! Thank you for loving Jesus and sharing his love. Because of your testimony of faith, I know that I will see you again! Jesus’ promise! Until then, I will cherish the memories and tell my grandkids what a wonderful man they have for a great grandfather! Daddy, you had a heart of gold and showed me to “consider all things joy!” Love you mucho! ❤️
It has been 8 years. The family still remembers and talks about all the things that you have done for the family and friends. Always miss your advice for the difficulties in life.
I find that anytime I smell someone smoking a pipe I think of you. Sitting at the table out back reading the paper early in the morning. I loved spending time with you in the morning before the day got started. I miss you.
Think of you nearly everyday. I wonder some times what you would suggest I should do. I just can't find the words to express what you have meant to me.
You are still in my heart and mind. My daily chores and choices that I have to go through brings around the thought of what would Willy do or choose. What direction would he point me in. Thanks for being in my life when you were needed. You did raise me.
Can it be that it has been five years since you left for heaven! There is not a day that goes by that I do not speak to you in my heart. This has been an unusually difficult holiday season. Spending the last December you were on earth WITH you in the hospital and hospice was a wonderful gift from God. So much time to say goodbye and yet it was not enough. I know we are designed to pass through this life. Passing through life with you as a father was a great time ... you were such a Huck Finn - you could make any task FUN. I look at my grandchildren and see glimpses of you and your sweet mother - thanks for the DNA!
This has always been one of the happiest days of my life.... The day you were born. It is also the day we laid you to rest ... It is now bittersweet. I know no one lives forever but these last years without you have been tough. I long to hear your voice and feel your loving hugs. You, my sweet daddy, are part of my very first memories on this earth and you will be one of the people I long to see the most in heaven. This past year has been life altering for me & everyday I missed the fact that I could not call you. I like to think that when I pray to God, you too can hear my prayers & God assigns you to be my guardian angel. In eight days I celebrate the birth of my sweet Buster. I like knowing that the Febuary birthday boys will celebrate together this year. I hear your voice, "never give up". So I will work hard and push on until we meet again. Much love to the man who taught me how to have a backbone in this life and to know "the game is not over until I win". Happy Birthday, Daddy! ❤️
Death changes everything! Time changes nothing.... I still miss the sound of your voice, the wisdom in your advice, the stories of your life and just being in your presence. So No, time changes nothing, I miss you as much today as I did the day you died.I just miss you.
I thank the Lord every day that my mother met you and brought you into my life. As always late again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We all miss your guidance in our lives.
Karney. That was the pet name you had for me. The name was more than a nickname, it was a term of endearment. When I heard you say this name, I always knew you had something special to say to me. I would love nothing more than to hear you call my name one more time. You not only gave me love, you gave me the benefit of your wisdom, compassion and life lessons. Then, it was as if you could step into my shoes and feel my pain, joy or sorrow. There is not an hour in a day that I do not miss you. Happy Third Birthday In Heaven!
Happy Birthday, Willie! I think about you so often - it surprises me, frankly, how often you pop into my thoughts. Thinking about you and remembering the laughs we shared always leaves me with a feeling of warmth and peacefulness. You are deeply missed and remembered with such love and gratitude.
Being away from home and missed my folks was a very heavy burden to carry, but I want to thank God for a wonderful family whom have devoted their life to help others. I was one of the few lucky one, as a foreign student (Marshallese), end up with a very wonderful family. With others, we were welcomed in their home as sons. There is always foods on the table for us all times. There are times we went shopping in their own expenses. Smiles on their face all the times. I never seen Mr. and Mrs. William Clark anger faces. I really like to thank Kimberly Clark caused I know in my heart that without her, life for us may be impossible. Our spring breaks were awesome. I was searching the Clarks family on the internet and found out the Mr. William Clark was passed away. Am very sorry that it happen this way, but I know that he is in a place there will be no sorrow. He is with God. He is with God in a place where David mention in PSALM 23. You will deeply missed, but for Virgin and Kimberly, THANK YOU. I know it may be difficult both of you and the family, but GOD is not away from us. He is on our side even though we have lost one, he is there for us. Once again, THANK YOU and I want to give special thanks to GOD for being a just wonderful family.
Remembering fondly a man of great heart and character....and sense of humor. No telling what he, Mel and Paul have been tinkering with along those golden streets! Looking forward to seeing their handiwork someday. In the meantime, I enjoy seeing Carl Clark in the lives and hearts of his children, grandchildren and great grands!
Happy Birthday. I wish I could say this to you in person. I wish I could buy you a gift and watch you blow out your candles. I wish I could hear your voice say "you do good work".at least I have you in my heart and my memories. Love you.
Survived another New Year's Day with a lifetime of memories. I have volumes of photos, videos yet I am still unable to pull them out and look at them. Then out of nowhere, Kimberly finds a photo that warms my heart and uplifts my spirits. Amazing how just the right photo at the right time can bring comfort. I will continually thank God for the wonderful month of Dec.2011 when HE allowed so much time before we had to say good-bye on January 1, 2012.
It's been a year and I've missed you everyday of it. I can still hear you giving encouragement and advise. So glad I had you in this life to guide me. Looking foreward to your guidance in the next. Love you!
I wish mine and Brandi's kids, his great grandchildren had been able to see him more often, what little time they shared i feel was a blessing to them..............What can you say about the perfect role model, other than to know him is to love him. Anyone who was lucky enough to have him touch their lives was surely a better person for it
Remembering a fun and fine man who was like a daddy to many...and who was an awesome Dad to his equally awesome daughters. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Ladies! I'm celebrating "Daddy Clark" today, too.
I just keep reminding myself how lucky I was to have such a wonderful dad to miss as much as I do. ♥ Some days I am more successful at being positive than others. This past week has not been full of success --- I have really missed my dad! As dad would say, "Give yourself a 20 minute pity party then get busy living." Party is over and focusing on a better 2013.
I miss my "Pop''. He always said, To look a person in the eye and give them a firm handshake. I believe when he entered heaven and saw Jesus, that is what he did. Will you be with my'"Pop"when you die? Believing in Jesus Christ is the ticket there. Love you!
I missed so many years of being able to spend with you and Grandma but I am so glad you got to meet my husband and my son before you left. I miss being able to talk to you.
A year ago we spent Christmas at Hospice. What a blessing to have that precious time with a man that I will miss every day until I see him again in heaven. Thank you God for the best Daddy in the world!
Happy Birthday, Bill! I wish I could have made it to AZ to be with Karen, Virginia, and all of the family for the memorial service today. You are all in my thoughts. Celebrate the life that had such a remarkable impact on so many others. Honor his memory by showing each other love and compassion. Give Tillie a big hug and a scratch behind the ears for me. :-)
Willy - our elder, our chieftan, our patriarch. My hero, my role model, my idol. I just hope you knew how much I thought of you, and always will. I hope you somehow know now how often I think of you, and always will.
Bill always made me feel like one of family ( you also Miss Virigina ). I for one will miss him very much. But I do know that we will all see him again in heaven. Miss Virigina your Bill and my Bill are together again. God Bless you and your family. Love you Flo
In all the world we shall not find...A heart so wonderfully kind, So soft a voice, so sweet a smile, Inspiration worthwhile... You have always and will always be an Inspiration to me... Thank You Mr. Clark.... ps. Say Hi to Gus for me
Mr Clark was the worker of God's Vineyard in this world. His Work of Love has shown to the world and me the Love of My Lord and My God, Jesus Christ. Now, this worker of God finished his day of labor. He was brought Home by His Master to receive the Crown of Glory and rest in His Heavenly Father's Bosom. Mr Clark, a job well done! I shall see you soon.
All men should strive to be the father,husband, friend and man Carl Clark was. He was truley deserving of the title " MR." He will be Missed by all, But never forgotten .
Mr. Clark was not only a true friend but a mentor for me. I will never be able to be the man he was but will never stop trying. I will always remember the rock gathering trips with him and Kim. Your memory will always be with me. Im going to miss you my friend!
Carl W. Clark: one of God's Mighty Men(2 Sam. 23): Warrior of outstanding character, impeccable integrity, devotion to family and total commitment to God and country. This Mighty Man of Valor has completed his mission and has earned his discharge Home.
What can I say about my Grandpa Willy that hasn't been said? He was just the most amazing man with the most generous spirit and infectious joy. He was always so positive and encouraging. He is an outstanding example of what a man should be. I am so thankful he came into Grandma's life. I miss him every day and probably will for the rest of my time on earth.
Happy, "Eternal" Birthday, Dad. I miss you. The phone calls of encouragement, our crazy jokes and laughter. You always sent current information on health, self help groups, and love all of your great phrases and words of wisdom. "Save some ,spend some, Thumb body loves you!!" I love you.
It has been 10 years since you were here with us. Your birthday 2/20 is cause to celebrate. You were the best daddy. I hear your words of wisdom and I am grateful that you live in my heart and mind. I thank God for you!
Dad built (in Az) all the displays for my store. The Holiday Market was a big deal. He and Virginia came to Arlington so dad could work Holiday Magic with me every day. The sweatshirts were our uniforms. Kimberly picked the sweatshirt for the last shirt for him to wear.
I was a month shy of the minimum age. Dad talked them into letting me attend anyway. Pam got to ride the bicycle that floated on water. I was too small for that. But what a wonderful week! Two little girls with the most handsome man at the Lodge. I remember every detail. He was all about making memories! He always made life and adventure and fun, no matter where we were. Miss my fun, loving dad every day.
