Skip was an amazing man. I witnessed his carpentry skills at Williams and again when he beautifully restored some antique furniture for us. His greatest gift was his kindness and generosity and his great love for his family. Our condolences, Paula Wells and Juliet Flynt

Very sorry for your loss. I grew up with the Clark and Felix families. We lived on 317 River Street and the Clark and Felix family lived on Loftus Street. Had great times playing ball in the backyard. Have great memories of all of us in our younger days. When Roy coached little league, he used to take us to A&W after the games for burgers and root beer. Great family. God Bless.

Skip was such a nice guy and skilled carpenter. Having worked for 25 years in the Music Dept. Office, it was a joy to see Skip install some new piece of countertop, etc. with a smile on his face and good words to share. He was a real problem solver.

Skip was my Great Uncle. I loved him so much and I miss him everyday. I know he’s happy in heaven, working in his dream workshop, building away with his brother. I’m grateful to know my Uncle Skip. I will always cherish our memories working together, eating his homemade waffles together, laughing and smiling looking through his project book, running errands, etc. Every memory and project we made together will always remind me of the time we had. I wish he weren’t so far so we could’ve had more time together. Uncle Skip always put a smile on my face and made me laugh when I didn’t feel like it. Although it hurts to think about him gone, he passed away peacefully, and that’s what matters. To anybody else who knew my Uncle, I pray your doing well with this grief and sadness of his absence. Rest in peace Uncle Skip, I love you so much. You will be missed dearly in all of the Clarks hearts, including mine. Love, Liam.
