The family of Jim Clark adds: "Jim was an avid sports fan and he enjoyed following the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles. Jim's hobbies included hunting and fishing and he spent many hours at his camp on Hoel Pond and at the Pigeon Roost camp in Franklin Falls. A great way for Jim to end a day was to spend the 5 o'clock happy hour with his wife Winnie and friends including Ned Mulflur and Lynn Baxter. Jim died at the age of 83 and went to join his hunting camp buddies John Duquette, Poker Ryan, Charlie Keough, and Tuffy Latour in chasing those trophy bucks around heaven."
