    To the family of Bill Clark, I was lucky to have known Bill Clark. He was a very nice man and he was a great youth group leader at Starkdale when I was a kid. I used to see Bill at the Kramer's when I was a kid too. He was always so funny and so nice. I hope you all find comfort in your memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lisa and Kenny Wells
