Please accept my condolences re: the death of your loved one, Clark Shank. I remember Clark many years ago in Mi. with Eileen and his fun times with his motorcycle before his accident. He always seemed to have an upbeat attitude and knew how to tease in a playful way. I am so sorry for your loss. Most respectfully, Genie Hollander
