Pat, Lisa and families, I was sorry to read about the passing of your dad. Although I only met him the times he came into Fricano's when he was in town, he certainly left an impression on me. He was always so friendly and saying "quick witted" is an understatement! You could tell how proud he was of his family and loved being with all of you. It sounds like he lived a great life and left you with some wonderful memories. Through these memories and love, he will live on with you forever.
Sincerely, Linda Fricano Slater
TC was such a big part of my parents' and my life growing up. He had such a big heart and was always helping others be better and enjoy life.
Two big TC memories that didn't involve my parents (like the Indy 500 time trials . . . ): 1. Visiting TC's father in Clinton when I was in my teens, when we helped explain that heating the house with the oven was not a good idea (life lesson for me); 2. Going to the Boat Show with TC and Lisa when I was a student in Chicago--bonus was a real meal!
I am so sad that he has passed, but know that he lived a big life and is now with his Sue and my folks, along with their clan of friends. Probably on a boat.
Love to all the Clark family!
Dear Dan, Lisa, Kevin Matt, and Pat.
How very sorry I was to see in the paper tonight that you lost your father and I lost a good friend.
I met your parents, through the Drake family, 30 some years ago, when all our families moved to the Spring Lake area. Ken and I had many memorable times with your parents and will I always cherish those memories.
After we all lost our spouses, I met with the "boy's" for breakfast a few times, when they, Tom and Tom, would both be in town, they would call me for "some good-ole day's" conversation. I miss those days!
Without a doubt, Tom was a good person, with a life well-lived, who loved his church, and was a special friend to me.
Please accept my condolences. Janet Harestad
Your mom and dad were fun to live across the street from in the early 80's. They were always so friendly to our young boys. I know you will miss him. Take care, Cyndi Casemier (then, Patton).
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was such a great guy always there for anyone that needed him. He lived life to the fullest and his kids were everything to him. He will live on forever in our hearts and memories. The entire Clark family are in my prayers. All my love Darcy Burnside
Tom and his son were faithful customers of Wednesday dinners at Post 28. Because we would run out of food "occasionally " I sometimes hid a couple dinners for them. RIP Tom and we'll catch you later. Rick
I have always enjoyed Tom's presence, conversations. Such a nice man .Sending my deepest sympathy to Matt,Kevin,Pat & Lisa and families.🙏😘
