CLARK, Donald Clark - May 8th, 1937 - September 4th, 2021
With heavy hearts and wonderful memories, we announce the passing of Donald Graham Clark, at the age of eighty-four, in Whitby Ontario.
Don was born in Toronto on May 8, 1937 to parents Donald & Alice Clark.
He is survived by his loving wife Marcelle of fifty-four years, and his four children Alison (Dave) Carey, London ON, Shelley (Derrick) Wong, Georgetown ON, Chantelle (Lyle) Mills, London ON, and Darcy Clark & Brian Clelland, Toronto ON.
Loving grandfather to 5 grandchildren, Noelle Carey, Madeline Wong, Gabrielle Wong, Gavin Mills and Yvette Mills.
Don had two brothers, Bruce (deceased), Doug (Dorie) Clark, and a sister Jeanne (Ed) Dawson.
Don is remembered by his brothers-in-law Edgar (Elaine) Emond, Ronald (Irene - deceased) Rachuk and his extended family and friends. Don lived his early years in Toronto and on a farm in Locust Hill, Ontario.
He went on to the University of Waterloo where he graduated as a Physics Engineer and earned his designation of Professional Engineer. He then ventured out west to work in the oil fields and while there he met the love of his life, Marcelle.
They were married May 27, 1967 in Saskatchewan, and a year later moved to Toronto where Don took a position as an Engineer in the glass industry.
They made their home in Whitby Ontario, raising their three daughters, Alison, Shelley, Chantelle and their son Darcy.
Don’s dream was to have a family and build his own cottage, which he did, giving his children and five grandchildren over forty years of treasured memories of adventure and family time at the lake with him as the quiet, loving captain.
He will always be remembered as an extremely kind, caring and generous man.
He offered advice, and allowed us to find our own way when he felt we needed to. He was wise, quiet, witty and deeply sentimental.
He will be missed immensely by all who were blessed to know him.
In keeping with Don’s wishes, there will be no service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Don’s name to the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto.
