At the age of 17, he joined the Navy and was a 20mm anti-aircraft gunner on a Merchant Marine ship. This teenage “Son of the South” found himself on two Murmansk, Russia, convoys heading over the Arctic Circle. He stood duty on the bow of his ship in a wind chill of 55 degrees below zero. German U-boats scattered his convoy and some ships were lost but his ship, the S.S. Owen Wister, came through safely.
After returning from World War II, he graduated from the University of Georgia in 1950 with a bachelor of science degree in business administration. He was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
When he completed college, he maintained his love of the sea by serving 29 years in the Naval Reserve, retiring as a captain. During his business career in Atlanta, he served as president of the Navy League of the United States, Atlanta chapter, and organized the first Sea Cadet program; was president of the Downtown Chamber of Commerce, member of the Downtown Kiwanis Club and many other community and military organizations.

His devotion to the Scout program continued for many years as he served on the executive committee of the Atlanta board of Boy Scouts. He lived the life of a good Scout in his love of God and country, as well as family and friends.
For many years, he was an active member of St. Bede’s Episcopal Church and served on the Vestry and other committees. After retirement to Clarkesville, he attended Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church, where he made many friends.
His entire business career was in the building industry in both sales and business development. He was the founder and developer of the retirement community, Lenbrook Square, which is one of the premier projects in the United States. His dream was to have an excellent retirement community that would be desirable for his parents.
Continuing his enthusiastic love of people and life, upon retirement Mr. Clark became involved with the Senior Citizens Center where he taught the use of computers to anyone who was interested. He expanded his concerns for the senior citizens of the community by representing Habersham County on the Legacy Link board of directors. His other interest was centered around the Habersham Community Theatre where he served on the board of directors and helped in publicity and advertising.
