Paul (Buddy) Richard Clark transferred to the Church eternal from the MO Veteran's Home in Mt. Vernon on Jan. 2 at the age of 86. For the last 63 of those years Buddy has been married to Myra Rutledge Clark who grieves his passing. Three children blessed the marriage and are still living: Karen Davis of Richmond, VA, Gloria Roling of Springfield, MO, and Richard Clark of St. Louis, MO. Ten grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren have bestowed additional blessings. Buddy was the Studebaker/Packard Dealer in Poplar Bluff where he also served as a teacher and locksmith. Visitation will be Sunday January 5 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 2200 W Republic Rd, Springfield, MO, from 5-6 p.m. with a prayer service at 4:30 p.m. Funeral mass will be Monday, January 6, at 11 a.m. with a visitation from 10 a.m. until service time at the church. Thank you God, for the gift of Buddy. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church or the MO Veteran's Home in Mt. Vernon.
