Lorran "Larry" Clark
February 29, 1928 - December 26, 2016
Lorran (Larry) Clark
February 29, 1928 — December 26, 2016
It’s with great sadness and gratitude for a life fully lived that we announce the passing of Lorran (Larry) Clark on December 26, 2016 at the age of 88.
Born and raised in Hardisty, Alberta, the son of Charles Clark and Anice (Heaivilin) Clark, Larry lived by the motto: “Be honest, and whatever you do, give it your best.”
Larry exemplified these values as Treasurer of the Orchid Species Preservation Foundation of Alberta, President of the Commonwealth Lawn Bowling Club, President of the North West Community Athletic Club, and throughout his 36-year career as a public health inspector.
An avid sportsman, Larry loved baseball, hockey, and hunting, but above all he was a family man.
As President of the Edmonton and Alberta Genealogical Societies, Larry devoted much of his later life to documenting his family history. It is comforting to know that he is now having tea with his son Bruce, and his siblings Edith, Thelma, Oakley, Rawleigh, Dixie, Naomi, Cleland, and Kenn, as well as all the many family members he had learned so much about.
Larry is lovingly remembered by his wife Joan; his children Dale (Sandra) and Verlie (Ken); his seven grandchildren: Andrew (Fawnda), Alan (Loralie), Joy (Justin), Laura, Cara, Thomas, Jonathan, and three great grandchildren.
A Funeral to celebrate Larry’s life will be held on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 2:00pm at Westlawn Funeral Home (16310 Stony Plain Road, Edmonton, Alberta).
In lieu of flowers, Larry wished for people to make a donation to a charity of their choice.
