Ronald L. Clark Sr.

Ronald L. Clark Sr. went to be with the Lord Monday, January 12, 2004.  Ron had
loving care at Courtyard in Davis for several months.  He was 68.  There will be
a memorial service for Ron at Gateway Chapel, 2nd and Main Street in Winters at
1 p.m., Saturday, January 17.

Ron was born in Hastings, Iowa on July 30, 1935 to William Clark Jr. and Elma
Mae Clark.  He joined the Marines and served in the Korean War.  He later
stationed in El Toro, California.  He was an officer with the Brea Police
Department and the Orange County Sheriff Department.  He later had his own
patent with pre-fab fireplaces.

Ron moved to Northern California and became an excellent troubleshooter in the
water and well business.  He drilled wells, worked at Bruhn Pump Co. and
eventually opened his own business as Clark Water Service.  He loved helping
people.  He would often work seven days a week just so no one would be "out of
water."  He retired in 1998 because of illness.

For sixteen years, 1982-1998 Ron was a member of the Winters Volunteer Fire
Department, serving as Captain of the Volunteer Department during the last few
years of his tenure.

He loved fishing, hunting and mostly being with his friends.  He loved his
family and always wanted to help make their lives better.

Ron was first married to Maryanne and had two daughters, Christinia Grubbs, now
living in South Lake Tahoe with her husband Jim, and Barbara Tengesdal, now
living in Bismark, North Dakota with her husband Jeff.

Ron married again to Laurine and had four children, Jimmy, who lives in LeMoore,
California with his wife Marlene, Kimberly of Winters, Ron Clark, Jr. who is
married to Ellen, and Stephen Clark.  Laurine preceded Ron in death in 1984.

Ron married Patty Brinsley in 1987, who has two sons, Randy Brinsley of Winters
and Michael Brinsley of Sacramento.

Ron is survived by many grandchildren:  Summer Cox of Iowa, and her new baby,
Mackenzie, Ron’s great-grandchild; Jenna and Thomas Grubbs of South Lake Tahoe;
Joren and Britta Tengesdal of Bismark, North Dakota.  Tony and Trista Clark,
Jason and Christie Anne Brinsley, all of Winters.

Ron is also survived by his brother, Fredrick Clark and Frederick’s (sic) wife
Joan of Santa Ana, California and his sister, Kathy Burleson and her husband,
Grady of Perris, California.

Friends and family are respectfully invited to attend the Gateway Chapel service.
