CLARKE, Russell Gerald Clarke

CLARKE, Russell Gerald  – The Clarke family mourns the peaceful passing of their patriarch, with family by his side, just one month before his 99th birthday, on July 19, 2023.

Predeceased by his loving wife, Joyce.

Proud father of Linda (Jan), Blair (Line), and Gary (Sandra).

Loving grandfather of Haley (Shaun), Jared (Karen), Vanessa (Tim), David, Emily (predeceased), and Evan; and great-grandfather of 6.

Dad was curious throughout his whole life wanting to learn new things.

He worked on the Avro Arrow at Hawker Siddeley and post-retirement, he was chairman of the board at Alumicor, where he learned to operate a computer.

He was known for his respect of others and lived an honorable life.

He served his country as a member of the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII and was a proud Canadian.
