Memories of years of sharing the good life with Clark and Karen are plentiful, and always evoke smiles and warm feelings. We’ll always remember Clark for his gracious hospitality, his good humor, his gentle manner and his kind heart, especially when it came to his furry and feathered friends. We’re thankful that Clark and Karen had over 40 years together, filled with exciting travel adventures and quality time with beloved family, friends and wonderful neighbors. No one who knew Clark will ever forget him. He was a very special person, our favorite Husker! RIP, dear Clark, until we meet again.

– Barb & Tom Conley
