Homer H. Clark passed away after a fulfilling, colorful life on Thursday, May 6, 2010 at his home.
Born on November 23, 1921 to Herald R. Clark and Mabel Hone, the third of their six sons. His boyhood home was Provo, where he showed early signs of creative ability and was taught to love classical music.
Upon graduating from Brigham Young University, he joined the Navy, where he entered medical school and completed his residency. After ten years on the east coast, he returned to Utah. He was on the pathology staff at L.D.S., St Joseph's (San Francisco), Utah Valley, and Primary Children's Hospitals. He then started his own pathology laboratory.
He loved painting and studied art wherever he lived. When he was 50, he was asked to be a rotating personal physician to Howard Hughes. While on location in Vancouver, he met a violin maker (luthier) who persuaded him to make string instruments. For the rest of his life, he was devoted to pathology, painting pictures, and making violins, violas, and cellos. His artwork and instruments have won many local and national prizes and have been sold all over the world.
A member of the L.D.S. Church, he served for many years as a home teacher. In 1953, he married Margaret L. (Peggy) Affleck in the Salt Lake Temple.
He is survived by Peggy, their two children Allison C. Isom (Layne) Idaho Falls and Gordon A. Clark (Lisa); eight grandchildren; brothers Dr. Phillip H. Clark (Ruth), Welsford (Gus) H. Clark (Delaine) and a sister-in-law, Marjorie Clark. He was preceded in death by his parents, an infant daughter Dana and three brothers Richard H., Dr. Stephen H., and Rand H. Clark.
