In Loving Memory.
Theodore Haller (Hal) Clark of Pottsboro, Texas, passed away Tuesday July 5, 2016 at the age of 90. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on
October 10, 1925, Hal graduated from Highland Park High School at the age of 16, where he received the "blanket award", exemplifying scholarship, good
character, and leadership. After his freshman year at Texas A&M University, he enlisted in the army and served as a Morse code specialist in the 88th
Infantry division on the front lines in Italy, and as a member of the Military Police. Hal returned to TAMU, and graduated in 1949 with a degree
in economics. Hal then achieved his M.B.A. From the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Finance.
His professional career began with General Electric in Havana, Cuba, where he lived for two years, and before returning to Dallas to become a key
executive for Johnson Equipment Company; which under Hal's tenure became one of the largest warehouse equipment providers in the US.
Hal married Patricia Ruth Robison in 1956 and had two children. He was a devoted husband and father, and always put his family first spending much of
his time planning vacations and sharing everything he could. Hal was an avid fisherman, passionate about golf, and lived an honorable spiritual
life. He loved the Lord, and served Him in many ways including teaching Sunday School to teenagers at Highland Park Presbyterian Church.
Hal's wife Patricia sadly passed away in 1989, and he eventually re-married to Anne Miller. Both Anne and Hal enjoyed 19 happy years together in
Pottsboro, Texas. Other special highlights of his life included a movie role as a swimmer in an Esther Williams film, a friendship with Ernest
Hemingway while in Havana, and his business association with Sam Walton.
Hal is survived by his wife Anne Miller Clark, his son, Theodore H. Clark, Jr., his daughter, Camille Clark, M.D., and grandchildren, Laura Clark
Wittig and husband Eric Wittig, Theodore Haller Clark, III (Hal), and Homer Hopson Glascock, IV (Hop).
Throughout his life, Hal's priority was to give and to ensure the comfort and safety of those he loved. No-one was ever a stranger to Hal and always
a friend. He is now at peace in God's presence, but he will be greatly missed
