Dear Kaley, we were both shocked and saddened to hear that you lost Jim. He was such a card. I have known him since I moved to Maberly in 1972 and I don't think I ever saw him in a bad mood or without a smile. A huge light has been extingqushed in the your life and in this area. Take care and take strength from your family in the days to come.

Marion, Trav, Dayna, Kayley,
I truly cannot find any words to express how deeply saddened I am. I want you guys to know that I have been thinking of you constantly over the past week and wish I had some way to hug each of you. I may not be there in person, but please know that my love, prayers, and thoughts are there with you. Your Dad was such an amazing man and I have a lot of wonderful memories from my childhood that include him, your family, your pool, and a lot of laughs. I cannot even imagine the pain you all must be feeling, but I do know that your love for one another will help you get through this. Remember to cherish all the wonderful memories you have made together. All my Love, Jenn xoxox

I recall several stories from Aunt Loraine saying how similar Jim was to our grandfather Herb. Our grandfather was a "great" man of wisdom and his family values is very evident in the family today. Jim, with his grandfathers qualities must also of been a "great" man.

Dayna, Marion, Kay and Travis, my heart goes out to you.
Remember that time when Jeff was doing the "Find the difference between the two drawings" puzzle in the newspaper at a big breakfast, right after the first ever Clark Classic, and Holmes drew another puzzle, a big circle and a square for him to figure out the difference between. He sure loved to make us laugh. Sending all my love.

Dear Dayna:
I do remember your Dad coming into the Pant Barn denim shop, when I worked there. He is four years older than me, and not the Jim that was in my class in public school. All those times we spoke at work,and we were speaking of two different people. I am so sorry that you have lost your father. He had a wonderful smile and he was very handsome....I do remember that. My prayers are with you and your family as you share memories and celebrate your dads life. I sure miss seeing you at Peters. Take care Dayna.
Deepest Sympathy, Heather Harry.

Marion and family. Julie and I were so sad to hear of Jim's passing. Even though we have only known you guys for a few short years and only got the chance to spend time together about once a year, we have so many fond memories. From the bocce games and parties at the Jackson cottages, to the surprise appearances at our 40th birhtday parties in Scarborough, we always laughed and remember vividly the way Jim could light up a room with his great smile and wonderful laugh! We are so thrilled you guys joined us on Ray's "Magical Mystery Bus Tour" to downtown toronto for his 40th, and for Jim dancing with Julie on our family room coffee table for her 40th! Take care and all our love. Ray & Julie.

Dayna & family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting your dad (a.k.a. Holmes on Homes) a few years ago when we made a trip up to the Clark family house. I have very fond memories of that weekend and of your dad. I remember us all playing in a makeshift golf tournament on your property, which soon became known as the Clark Classic (your dad even made a trophy!). I remember sitting on your porch, your dad with a guitar in hand, with wheat stalks (or most likely grass) in our mouths and trying our best at singing the blues. I remember us all sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast one morning over much banter and laughter. My memories of your dad are that of a generous, warm, fun-loving man. He sure made us lol. My deepest condolences.

Marion, Kayle, Dayna and Travis, our hearts go out to you at the loss of such a GREAT MAN.
He always made the day a little brighter when in his presence. We have so many fond memories of having JIMBO give us a day's training on what to do next in this part of the construction of our home. From the foundation to the roof. He had so much knowledge.
My fondest memory is after Jim did the footings for us, then showed us how to lay the "first course of blocks" JIMBO said to us.... "You're on your own now.... you couldn't pay me enough to lay these blocks. These blocks being the 65 - 70 pound hand made blocks that Grampa and Earl Wesley made with the sand from Silver Lake!!
Such a fine man, just a big tedddy bear!! One hug and you's know!! His wonderful outlook on life and humor always to brighten ones day.
You will be so sadly missed JIMBO.

We were supposed to meet this month and we were going to share Clark family history, finally we would meet! Now its not so. Karen Prytula

Jim and I traded stories many a time at 4 am when he would come to plow me out so I could drive to work in Ottawa. He would often say that I should get a job closer to home and save him coming to plow me out. I fondly remember those times and I will miss him very much.
