Clark was a devoted husband and loving father, as well as a loyal friend to those who knew him.
He loved singing barbershop harmony and enjoyed musicals, jazz, and comedy; humor was a huge part of his life and he always wanted to leave people smiling. His axiom was always "There is no right way to do a wrong thing."

He was recognized in industry publications for his help in development of The Senior Income Solution (SIS).
Clark was a member of Masonic Blue Lodge #322, the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce, former board member of Goodwill Industries, and past volunteer for Big Brothers, Easter Seals and the American Heart Association. He was a member of the Willistown United Methodist Church, where both he and Janet were youth group leaders for more than 25 years.
