August 30, 1947 - November 1, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Donald Clark after a nine-month courageous battle with intracranial brain bleeds. Larry was born on August 30, 1947, in Drumheller, Alberta and went home to Heaven on November 1st, 2024, in Three Hills. He grew up on the Clark family farm near Rosebud. He was from a large family of ten siblings, with he and his brother Garry being one of two sets of twins. As a boy, Larry loved sports, playing both hockey and baseball. He had a keen interest in politics, and one of his favorite pastimes was reading the government budget binders from cover to cover. He completed his Boiler Technician tickets at S.A.I.T. and used these skills in the different positions he worked in. He had an excellent work ethic and his motto was “Any job worth doing is worth doing well.”
Larry is survived by his wife Audrey, his daughters Sharilee (Vern) Swaity and Paula (Darren) Pietrobono, step-children Jack Empey, Cherylee (Marvin) Franke, and Doug (Irene), grandchildren Kayla and Krista Pietrobono, Alana (Chris) Wilson, Aimee (Justin) Ewasiuk, Gwen (Rich) Ewasiuk, Kyle, Korey (Taralee), grand-daughter-in-law Andrea. Great-grandchildren Brookelyn, Haylie, Christopher, Lucian, Brandon and Jaxon, Faith and Leah. He is also survived by his siblings Jean, Jim, Thelma (Ervin) Bossert, and Linda (Lou) Scheck, sister-in-law Celie and many much-loved nieces and nephews.
Larry was pre-deceased by his first wife Sharon (nee McDermand), father and mother Jay and Nelly Clark, brothers Mervin, Glen and Garry, sisters Audrey and Judy, sister-in-law Clara, brother-in-law’s Dale and Angus, grandson Dale, and nephews Carey, Jimmy, Ian, Kent and Russell.
