Reese J. Clark

Reese J. Clark (89) has moved on to his new adventure, and is reunited with his loving wife, Vivian, on what would have been their 66th wedding anniversary.

Reese, our Dad, started his new journey on August 29, moving on peacefully while at home with loved ones at his side. He will be dearly missed.

Reese was born in Rome, Pa to Harry and Louise Clark on March 10,1936, where they ran a small dairy farm. Reese often spoke of the farm and the hard work that was required to keep it running. Reese lived on the farm until his early 20’s when he joined the Air-force. His time in the military was short lived when it was discovered that he had a heart condition and was medically discharged.

I am not really sure of the details, but somehow he ended up in Ohio, meeting and marrying Vivian, the love of his life. Reese and Vivian had and raised four children: Scott (Jane) Clark, Virginia Clark (Wes deceased), John (Marcy) Clark, Dawn (Greg) Goss; 8 Grandchildren: Cody, Emily, Martha, Melissa, Amanda, Reese, Carmen and Parker; 4 Great Grandchildren: Seth, Rose Mary, Colson and Joe; 3 Great Great Grandchildren: Eden, Ava and Carson; sister, Ellen (Ted deceased) Platt.

Reese was a very hard worker and a Great provider for his family. He worked construction for the majority of his career, building various projects throughout the region.

Reese enjoyed the outdoors. He was a hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed spending time at the cabin that he built in the mountains of Pennsylvania. We still use this cabin today.

After retiring, Reese and Vivian would spend time traveling in their truck camper across the country, eventually taking the trip of their lives when they went to Alaska for three weeks.

Reese loved his family deeply and his favorite thing to do was to be anywhere they were, especially with Mom. We Love you Dad and you will be greatly missed….RIP…
