Prayers and sympathy to the family. Thanks to Mike my life was all the better. What a great person and dear friend. Will be missed and remembered by all

RIP Mike it's been a long time since we saw each other wish we could have got together........your old friend " Freak"

Remember the good times together. Hold onto the happy memories. Remember Michael, healthy and young. The wedding; Evie, the beautiful bride.  Remember the smiles and laughter...The promises made to love each other forever. They were always there for eachother. Remember the children Michael lived for; the births of Bethany and Mikey,  the beautiful lives of Sarah and Jake. He loved his children endlessly. He was so proud to be their dad. Remember the vacations and photographs; the gut wrenching laughter and fun times together. Remember the arrival of grandchildren; Titus, Landon, Nova, and Logan. He cherished each child and held each miracle up as he smiled upon them with wonder. Remember life. Remember Kirby and all the pets Michael loved. He spent his time training and rewarding them, playing in the yard and by the lake. They treasured eachother. Remember the cabin and all the things learned exploring outdoors. Michael loved nature; fishing, kayaking, the river, the woods, mushroom hunting, bears, wolves, dragonflies and hikes to see new things. These memories are shared with people he loved. Remember those times. Be happy for those times.  Remember the things Michael loved;  music and art. Playing piano and guitar... teaching Bethany and Mikey and passing his talents onto them. Sharing music and song together.  Remember those times and be glad to have shared them. Remember the example of strength and courage Michael showed when he was diagnosed.  Be inspired. Remember the good times. Remember when Michael was there for you. When he was a good friend.  Remember when he taught you something.  When he told you he loved you. Remember when you shared a memory together.  Find peace.  Remember Michael. Find joy in the sorrow. Remember the memories because he will be a part of you forever.

-Your family always accepted and included me.  I have good memories.I look back at the times Michael helped me; with advice, with Rocky, or with cooking ideas. He taught me how to train Rocky. Showed me the best food to feed him...which I still give Rocky to this day. He put love into it. He was a wise man. I will never forget him and what he taught me.  I love you all so much and I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked with Mike at Salco Products for many years. Mike was always kind, funny and full of knowledge. Mike had the ability to bring out the best in people and find common ground even with those he disagreed with. My thoughts go out to his family and friends, With Mike though, both are the same because Mike treated his friends like family. Mike was a very unique and accomplished man, and I will miss him dearly.

Worked with Mike when I would go to Chicago and when he came to the Longview Plant.He was the same type of person at work as he was away from work good kind and helpful. He didn't forget me when  the plant closed or when he left Union. I have a Harley because he tracked me down and hired me to go to Spartanburg, SC.
There needs to be more people like Mike Clark. You will be missed

Our deepest sympathy to your family. We spent many years way back when, camping with the Clark family in Michigan.  He was always a nice guy.

I meet Mike early in my rail industry career. From the start we became friends and it felt as if I had known him forever. His kind nature and attitude toward work and life made him a friend to everyone he met. He will be missed by many. My deepest condolences to his family.

I worked with Mike at Union Tank Car Company. As a matter of fact, he was the first person to train me when I was transferred to East Chicago. He was helpful but also very funny. I will never forget his wit and sense of humor. I pray that God give you the peace as only HE can during this time and in the days ahead. God Bless You.

I went to school with Mike, always a gentle man, you will be missed , your friend Sheila Fuqua Ross. P.S. say hi to all my loved ones miss them.

I worked with Mike at Union Tank Car in East Chicago.  Our paths continued to cross within the rail industry.  I am very sorry to hear of his passing.  My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.  God bless you and give you strength.

I consider myself fortunate to have known Mike on both business and personal levels.  I found him to be kindhearted and open-minded.  He will be missed and remembered.

Dearest Aunt Evie and family,

Words cannot express my deepest heartfelt sorrow for your loss.  I wish I could be there to give you all a hug.
Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all!

Sincerely,

Rachel and Chloe

We are so sorry for the loss of your husband, father and G'pa. Nothing can take from you the wealth of wonderful memories, and the happiness that you and he shared for so many years. I thank God for his love and mercy and look forward to the day we are all together in Heaven.

We are going to miss Michael very, very much. He leaves a place in our family which can not be replaced. Our hearts break with yours just as Jesus wept at his friend Lazarus' grave.  Jesus has done all and promised it for us in his Word. Because He lives, we too shall live again even after we die! This is the best comfort we have, to be able to be with Michael again one day in Heaven. I like to think of Michael waiting for you and I and making music with all those angels in Heaven. With deepest sympathy. Aunt Cherry and Uncle Larry

To The Clark Family,

I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Union Tank Car Company for several years.  He was a very kind and intelligent person that was always willing to help out with any tank car issues.  Please accept my deepest condolences.  I will be praying for the family during this most difficult time.  May he rest in internal heaven.

Co-Worker at Union Tank Car Company

Mike is one of my oldest and dearest  friends. So many good memories. I'll miss you Michael but you will live forever in our hearts.

Mike was a colleague and a friend.  He gave his time and talents willingly and freely.  I will miss him greatly.  I pray for his soul to be at rest and ask that God's peace be with his family.

Mike was a very kind and caring person.  May God now offer him peace and Bless his family with faith and strength.
