Mr William Henry Clark

William (Bill) Henry Clark passed away at Foley, Alabama while down for a visit with family on January 24 at the age of 79, following complications from a heart attack on September 11, 2016. He resided at Lake Bistineau, Louisiana. Bill was preceded in death by his brothers Charles, Frank, and Jerry, and his sister Rosalie. He is survived by his brother Victor, and sisters Margaret and Patricia. Bill is lovingly remembered by his children Lisette (Merle) Root of Cave Junction, Oregon; Marie (Harvey) Fowler of Monroeville, Alabama; Laura (Alton) Moody of Foley, Alabama; William (Missy) Clark of Doyline, Louisiana; Mary (Darrell) Wallace of Foley, Alabama; Jason (Christy) Clark of Atmore, Alabama. He was blessed with many loving grandchildren and great grandchildren. Bill was born in Hayti, Missouri on July 26, 1937. He graduated high school in Mobile, Alabama, thereafter serving 20 distinguished years in the United States Navy. Following retirement from the Navy, he returned to school at the age of 55 to attain his Practical Nursing license, a lifelong dream fulfilled. Bill enjoyed fishing on his beloved Lake Bistineau with his brother Victor and children at every opportunity. He was a ham radio operator, avid reader, and was never without his beloved dogs on his lap. He was an amazing trumpet player, and loved to eat and congregate with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at every opportunity. The night prior to his heart attack, he won two games of Yahtzee, creaming all of the other players with glee. Bill was a great believer in medicine and science. He donated his body to the Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Shreveport, in furtherance of science. His mortal remains were received with honor on January 24, 2017, with deepest appreciation from the medical school. Throughout his life, he told his children, family and friends, that medical students would be in awe of his life as they looked at all of the traumas his body endured and overcame, and that he could think of nothing better than to give that gift to medicine. A Celebration of Life for William (Bill) Clark will be held on Saturday, March 11th at the VFW at the Kichler-Pippen Post, located at 24230 US Highway 98 Elberta, Alabama from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. A potluck of his favorite foods will be shared, as well as memories, laughter and a few tears. Please contact his daughter, Laura Clark Moody, at laurasipodemail@gmail.com if you plan on attending for further information. In lieu of flowers, our father would sincerely encourage everyone to consider organ donation and/or scientific donation of their mortal remains upon their death. If you would like to donate flowers, please find a local Veterans Hospital or Nursing Home, and brighten a lonely veterans day.
