Jim and family,
I am so very sorry to hear your dad has passed away. He really was one-of-a-kind. I enjoyed seeing him when you guys would come in...what a laugh! He was so full of spunk and very funny. One thing is for sure -he lived a happy life. It was evident how much you loved him, Jim, and how proud you were of him...as he was of YOU. I will be thinking of you guys and hope you find strength and peace to get through the holidays and the coming year.
All the best,
Rebecca C.

My sincere condolences To the Clark family. I had the pleasure of working with Cy for many years. Always a pleasant smile and a beautiful aroma of pipe tobacco. He will truly be missed by his many transit friends.

I can remember Mr. Clark's face when, as a child, my parents & I used to board the bus in town that was occasionally driven by him, so many decades ago...

Such a simpler time it was back then. But there is comfort in the knowledge that he lived a long life, one that extended well past the days of my childhood memories. And what a coincidence that he would be a part of those memories, too---but again, only for GOOD reasons.

R.I.P. Mr. Clark---and thanks for the ride!

Cyril, what a wonderful man. He drove an old Desoto when I first knew him. Always smiling and smoke his pipe.

My heartfelt thoughts go out to the Clark family. I was privileged to work with three generations of Clarks, Cy, Jim and Dwayne.
Although I am not a smoker, my main memory of Cy was the pipe tobacco which he smoked, it had a beautiful odour.
RIP my friend.
