Clark (Gerry)

A long-time Highline-area resident and local contractor, Gerry operated Clark Ditching Co. for many years. He married his childhood sweetheart, Rose Mary, in Seattle's Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Dec. 6, 1941. They enjoyed the next 65 years together raising a family and loving grandchildren.

Reflecting on his life, he often said, "What an amazing time to be alive."

He leaves behind his wife, Rose Mary, sister Agnes and brother Calvin. His first child was Pamela, followed by Germaine Jr. (Barb), Michael, Tracy (Lucy), Kelly (Mike) Ringoen and Kerry. Grandchildren are Richard (Becky), Michael, Anna and Jill Ringoen, and great grandson Logan.

In lieu of flowers, please think about the Heart Association, Arthritis Foundation, MS Association, or salmon stream restoration project.

His family welcomes friends and neighbors to an open house on Saturday, Aug. 25, 1-4 p.m., at the family home. Please call 206-579-6472 for directions.
