August 15

John Wayne Clark
April 10, 1942 - August 15, 1998
 
Another year has passed since you left us. I think how would life be if you were still with us? 
 
Besides our family, many other people miss you too. I talked to school administrator last week that was friends with my Dad. This school administrator interacted with Dad on a weekly basis because of Dad's position on the school board and as a parent. The school administrator said to me on the phone that he missed my Dad. He said that my Dad was so proud of his kids, promoted girls sports so much and would do anything for the school. Even though almost 19 years has passed since he died, I started to get choked up and misty eyed while talking to the school administrator. It is a nice feeling knowing that Dad had such a lasting presence with people in the community. 

Until we meet again. I miss and love you.
