"Dear brother, we were so close as kids and so distant as adults. Something I was hoping to change this year but, God had other plans and I will take a back seat to him. Rest well watch over us while we are apart one from the other. You were very special to me and now I will do whatever I can for those you left to cherish your memory. Love Todd."

"Marcia, Bri and Marissa, absolutely no words can begin to express my sympathy. I want you to know that your husband, your dad and our friend was a source of pride for all of us here at Rada Mfg. He had the rare ability of expressing his point of view while also possessing the ability to see issues from a company point of view. He was a joy to be around. We are all shaken to the core over this for all of our loss but more importantly we are so saddened by yours. It was so obvious that he felt truly blessed to have the three of you in his life. We all lost a wonderful man in Clark. You all know it but you need to know that we all knew that too. You have Cindy and my deepest sympathy."

"Marcia, Tom and I are so very sorry for your loss. It was easy to see what a great person, husband, and father Clark was and it was a pleasure spending time with you when we had the opportunity. Our prayers are with you. "

"My deepest sympathies to Marcia and family. I worked with Clark for almost 23 years. You spend more time together at work than we get to with our families. I was proud to call him part of my Rada family. Clark was a man of integrity who dearly loved his wife and girls! His face would light up every time he would speak of them, which was often. He has left a big hole in our business and our lives. We will deeply miss him. May God be with your family! Goodbye for now Clark, until we meet again in the Lord's kingdom."

"Marcia, Bri and Marissa, I don't have the words to express my sympathies for your loss. I can only share what I saw in your husband / father. He was a man who welcomed me on to the fire department and took the time to get to know me. He grew up between my brothers so he other than having you two close to Taylor and Erin's age he didn't have to be a friend. I saw a guy who worshipped you three. I don't think he ever missed an event or a basketball shot with his camera. He was ever proud of his girls. No one can ever fill his shoes but you have thousands of memories you made caught with his camera through his eyes. My prayers are with all at this difficult time. Don Scroggin"

"My sympathies to Marcia and family, it will be difficult to find another friend like Clark, we worked together 34+ years but I got to know you better these last 2 years. I will miss your wit,perspectives on life & politics and your sense of humor especially . I'll never forget the times when your CNC machine would go off program you'd want to know why it did it and creating programs for it with you, these are memories I will cherish,RIP my friend."
