Karl, you were my Uncle, but, more that that you were my friend, my teacher, my confidant, and my hunting buddy. You will be missed. To Linda, Carla, Chris, and Mitchell, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always be here for you anytime you need anything. I love you all. Scott
God bless you alll. We will miss Karl and his love for the outdoors and the great stories he had in his experiences.
Dear Clark family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Karl. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. May God give you and your family comfort in His promise that soon we will never experience losing our loved ones in death and we will be able to see them again once they are resurrected. With deepest sympathy and warmth of heart.
