Howard CLARK Friday October 06, 2017
CLARK, Howard (1928 – 2017) – it is with sadness that we announce the death of Howard William Clark of Simcoe, Ontario. He passed away peacefully at home on the morning of Friday, October 6th, 2017 in his 90th year. Beloved husband of 65 years to Yvonne (nee Price), loving father of Rob and wife Elly, Simcoe and their daughters Holly (Charles) and Nayeli of Toronto, and Laura of Medicine Hat, Alberta; Rick and wife Judy of Binbrook and their son Brandon of New York, and Randy (predeceased August, 2015) and Mary-Ellen and their sons Jacob and Dylan of Sault Ste. Marie. He is predeceased by his parents Walter and Bessie Clark and his brother Bruce. He will be missed by his brother Gord and family of St. Thomas, Ontario. He was born on June 22nd, 1928 in Caledonia, Ontario. Howard was a respected teacher and principal in many schools in Norfolk County for 39 years from 1950 on. He followed this with 9 years of serving the Norfolk Board of Education as Trustee and Chairman. Howard was a member of REACH, Probus, and the Gentlemen of Harmony. Yvonne and Howard enjoyed their many friends in the Bridge Club and traveled the world extensively during their retirement years as well as wintering in Florida. Howard was jack of all trades, machinist, carpenter, welder, plumber, musician, poet (he could recite numerous poems and songs from memory in his 90th year), nature-lover, a scientist at heart, gardener, sailor (he and Yvonne took the power squadron course and bought a sail boat), fisherman, and food connoisseur. He was the ultimate navigator as he knew every road in Southern Ontario. Those who were privileged enough to know Howard will agree that his witty sense of humor was infused into every aspect of his life. He will be sorely missed by his family and his beloved dog, Bud. Friends are invited to share their memories of Howard with his family at the JASON SMITH FUNERAL CHAPEL, 689 Norfolk St. North Simcoe for visitation on Wednesday, October 11th, 2017 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. A private interment of ashes will be held at Port Dover Cemetery at a later date. Those wishing to donate in memory of Howard are asked to consider Harmonize for Speech or the Kidney Foundation. Personal online condolences at www.smithfuneralchapel.com (519) 426-0199
