John William Clark, 76, of Grampian died Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at his home with his family at his side.
Born Sept. 7, 1937 in Greenwood Township, he was the son of the late George and Lula (Anderson) Clark.
On May 24, 1958 in the Bible Fellowship Church, he married Alice (Weber) Clark. She survives.
Mr. Clark moved to Glens Falls, NY in 1958 and returned home in 1980, where he worked at various coal mines as a dragline operator. After working in the coal business, he founded and operated Clark’s Cleaning Company for many years.
He loved his family and was a hard worker who had a great sense of humor and who enjoyed helping others. He loved to go camping and host various campgrounds. He especially enjoyed sitting on his deck in the mornings.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church in DuBois. He will be sadly missed by his wife, family and friends; he was so witty and made everyone laugh.
Mr. Clark is survived by a daughter, Susan McKenrick and her husband, Michael of Short Gap, W.Va.; two sons, Daniel Clark and his wife, Lori of Wilton, NY and Brian Clark and his wife, Valerie of Olanta; two brothers, James and Edward Clark; eight grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
At Mr. Clark’s request, there will be no public visitation or funeral services. Burial will be in Chestnut Grove Cemetery.
Memorials may be sent to the First Baptist Church, 197 Eastern Ave., DuBois, PA 15801.
