Pam & Randy, We were so sorry to hear about your father’s passing. We know this is a very sad and difficult time for you and your family. You have my very deepest sympathy. Pat & Linda Flynn
Pam and family....am thinking so well of just how gracious your mother and father were in all the years we knew and saw them at their businesses. My sisters and I always loved to visit Clarks.......where they always were so polite, welcoming, and had such manners and sense of goodness for all. Mo was the consumate gentleman--clearly one of that "greatest" generation.......what a friend to so many! Peace to them and you, now... ralph johnson jr.
Sorry for your loss Pam. What a full long life. As a youngster, I remember him and he always seemed like a good ole boy. Take care and take comfort that he's looking down with a smile on his face.
Pam & family, Your heart broke Pam, and ours breaks for you. We are sorry to hear that Mo had passed. What a long and remarkable life he lived. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with him , Karleen and you. Wonderful memories. Love & Prayers Tracey and Jeff Clayton
Those of us at Whispering Chase in Cheyenne, Wy had the pleasure of Mo's company all too briefly but he left his mark on our hearts. Our condolences to the family.
My sincere condolences and prayers for strength to Pam, Randy and the entire Clark family.
Randy and Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. The entire region was touched at one time or another by Mo. What a grand influence he was on the community. Definitely not many men like Mo cross our paths in life and we were all the richer in knowing him and all his family. John Gashler
Pam, Your Dad, Mo, was truly "one of a kind". Great father and husband, great friend and smart business man with an incredible business acumen! I learned so much from him, everything from great business insight, to gardening and growing the best pink peonies! Oh, and the recipes!!! He adored you Pam, and I am so glad I was able to be a part of his life , with you, and Clara, over the last 35 years! He left his mark. He was "good people" and truly left behind a genuine legacy. Treasure all the wonderful memories of Mo, and his great sense of humor. I wish you and your family the very best during this difficult time, and please, if you remember nothing else: remember everything he brought into your life. He was a truly wonderful person, and will always be with you! Bless you and your family.
