He received Christ and was baptized under the pastorate of the late Rev. Dr. Milton E. Wilson of Liberty Hill Baptist Church. Clarence made his transition into the next phase of eternal life May 17, 2021. His eldest sibling, Mamie Love preceded him in death by just four months joining his sister, Merthie Wright and brothers James, Lyphus, and Alonzo Clark. At an early age he worked part-time during the school year, and full-time during the summer for the H. Blonder Wallpaper & Paint Co. doing odd jobs as needed. After graduating from Central High School, he became a full-time employee; working as a clerk in the store Clarence was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army after serving three years during the Korean Conflict. Upon return from his tour of duty he resumed employment with The Blonder Co., where he was promoted to Store Manager at one of its branches. He retired after nearly 50 years with the company. In his honor, The Clarence Clark Award for meritorious service was presented annually to Blonder’s Employee of The Year, Sketch drawing, and playing the piano "by ear," were some of the creativities that Clarence expressed in his early years. He, along with best friends, his brothers, was an avid fan of baseball. Reading, keeping abreast of current events, traveling and bowling were also part of Clarence’s leisure time. In 1976 Clarence married Sara Yvonne Tiddle, and became a surrogate dad to her daughter Sheila. In recent years Sheila became caretaker to both parents. Cherishing his memories are his beloved wife, Sara Yvonne Clark and daughter Sheila Tiddle, and sisters Rev. Annie Pearl Clark (Shiloh, IL), Dolores Hazel Cammon (Cleveland, OH,) and Rev. Mary Louise Ruffner (Snellville, GA. Also, cherishing his memory are a host of nieces, nephew, relatives and friends. Thanks and praise, for our days. 'neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky, as we go, this we know, God is nigh."
