Obituary for Donald Graham Clark
Donald Clark
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, Ontario on May 8, 1937 to parents Donald and Alice Clark. He is survived by his loving wife Marcelle of fifty-four years, and his four children Alison (Dave) Carey, Shelley (Derrick) Wong, Chantelle (Lyle) Mills, and Darcy Clark (Brian Clelland). Loving grandfather to five grandchildren, Noelle Carey, Madeline Wong, Gabrielle Wong, Gavin Mills and Yvette Mills. Don has two brothers, Bruce (deceased) (Zella) Clark, Doug (Dorie) Clark, and a sister Jeanne (Ed) Dawson. Don is remembered by his brother-in-law Edgar (Elaine) Emond, and sister-in-law Irene (deceased) (Ronald) 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 in Physics Engineering 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 Cantal, 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 and Marcelle’s dream was to have a family and build their own cottage, which they did, giving their children and grandchildren over forty years of treasured memories and family time at the lake with Don 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.
