Sally,
I worked with Dave for several years at Oswego Middle School and then saw him often throughout the city after his retirement. I am beyond shocked to hear of his passing. Sending condolences and deepest sympathy to you.
Remembering Dave from Kingsford Park. He looks the same today. Dave had a collection of SUPERMAN comics, over one foot high when stacked. He is the first person that I knew had a color TV at home, wow , and I was honored to watch the grand opening of Disney World on it! RIP Dave…
Dave you will be greatly missed by everyone.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Dave Clark
I’ll miss seeing him at the races at Oswego
I’ll have a beer for you
To the Clark family. We are very sorry to learn of the loss of Dave.
My most recent memory of Dave was via Planet Fitness. He was a regular and
everyone enjoyed his company. We will miss his energy. May God Bless.
Thinking of you Sally and family, I have so many wonderful memories of Dave from the past 35 years at Oswego Speedway, I will always remember my trip with Dave, John, Sean and Merrill to a Indy Car race in Nazareth, PA, so many laughs! Love, Dawn Gray
