Larry J. Clark, 80, of Osceola, Indiana passed away on Sunday morning, March 6, 2022, at his home. He was born on November 30, 1941 in Battle Creek, Michigan to the late James William and Leora J. Jennings Clark. On July 30, 1977, in Mishawaka, Indiana he was united in marriage to Peggy M. DeVan Clark, who survives.
Larry started in the dry cleaning business in 1961, eventually becoming a partner with his parents in One Hour Martinizing Cleaners in South Bend, Valparaiso, Niles, Three Rivers, Sturgis and stores in Illinois. In 1984, the family sold the dry cleaning business. Larry then worked for John Howard Painting until 2000, when he returned to the cleaning business with Peggy as Clark's Corner Cleaners on Portage Avenue until he closed in 2013.
Larry served in the United States Marine Corps. He was a member of the Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA). Larry loved his two cats, "Sam" and "Princess".
Since 1981, Larry & his wife, Peggy, traveled all over the United States to CMA Rally's, visiting many interesting places and meeting wonderful fellow believers. When he started having health problems, it wasn't easy giving up traveling and camping with CMA. Then Larry started to attend car shows and enjoyed the fellowship with like minded car guys.
Along with his loving wife, Peggy, Larry is survived by his daughter, Barbara Montgomery of Sun City, Arizona; two sons, Jason Clark and Jesse (Kelly) Clark, both of South Bend; eight grandchildren; his sister, Sharon Smith of Albion, Michigan; and his nieces and nephews. Larry was preceded in death by his infant daughter, Leora Clark; son, Clarence Clark; and his brother Ronald Clark.
