After High School he worked for his grandpa Jim Clark at James H. Clark & Sons Trucking. He met Janice Bliss in the autumn of 1958 and she quickly became the true love of his life. Clark and Janice were married in her parent’s backyard on August 20, 1959. They spent a long and happy life together living in Provo. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Provo Utah Temple on September 3, 1983. Determined to be a good husband and father, Clark decided to support his family by working in the family business, Zion Upholstering, Inc.

Clark was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He enjoyed serving as a ward clerk and counselor in the bishopric and a member of the Stake High Council at B.Y.U. He was generous with his time, resources and talents. He was always looking for ways to help and serve other people. Clark was an antique car enthusiast. Over his lifetime, he restored and collected many beautiful cars. He enjoyed sharing his passion by participating in local parades and car shows. He won several awards for his restoration work. He and Janice enjoyed traveling and spending time with their friends in the Utah Valley Old Car Club and the VMCCA. He also had a passion for collecting antique toys. He especially loved collecting anything Disney and the DeWolf’s have many happy memories visiting Disneyland. Clark’s greatest joy was his family. He was most proud of his 3 children, 12 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. He was a living encyclopedia of the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren and would share them with anyone who had a few minutes or a few hours to listen.
