Lloyd Clark

Lloyd Glenn Clark was born September 5, 1927, to Oscar and Mattie Clark of Wolf Bayou, Arkansas. He went to be with his heavenly father on December 6th, 2010. He was 83 years young. Glenn served his country in the Navy during WWII. After his tour of duty, he returned to Arkansas, and when he stepped off the bus met his "sweetheart" Winifred I. Salter. They wed on May 6th 1950. He subsequently attended Arkansas Tech and the University of Arkansas on the GI Bill and received a civil engineering degree in 1953. He began his career at Sheffield Steel Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri and later worked with Sapulpa Tank in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. He started his own business in Harrison, Arkansas and finally settled in Springdale, Arkansas, founding NWA Steel in 1961, which he still operated at the time of his death. He loved his work and was fiercely dedicated to all those who worked alongside him. He was a faithful member of First United Methodist Church, Rotary club, served on the Springdale Planning and Zoning Commission and was a charter member of the University of Arkansas Civil Engineering Society. He was inducted as a member of Chi Epsilon, the Civil Engineering Honor Society. He was active in the alumni program at the University of Arkansas and provided many scholarships for civil engineering students. Those who knew him well knew him as a quiet, humble and dignified man who strived to serve his family and community with integrity. He leaves behind a legacy of one who loved deeply and showed great devotion. He will never be replaced in the hearts of those who called him husband, father, grandfather, employer and friend. His legacy lives on as he is survived by his two daughters, Pamela Sue Clark Shrum and her husband Steve of Southlake, Texas and Glenda Kay Clark Hollis and husband Tim of Garfield, Arkansas and eight grandchildren, Cassie Hollis, Zach Hollis, Hillary Hollis, Bethany Hollis, Austin Shrum, Sydney Shrum, Tori Shrum and Hudson Shrum. He was preceded in death by his wife, Winifred Clark, parents, OT and Mattie Clark, brothers Max Clark and Noel Clark, and sisters Lovenia Clark Davis, and Nelda Clark Thorn. He is survived by brother Louie Clark of Heber Springs, Arkansas. When your heart has beaten for the last time, there's only one thing that God will be looking for at the gates of eternity: Jesus, His Son, with his arm around you saying, "This one's with Me." We take comfort in the fact that he has left this temporary home and has gone to a beautiful place called heaven where there will be no sorrow, no tears, no pain but continual fellowship with his Heavenly Father and loved ones gone before, and there will be no more death. Passage: However it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived- the things God has prepared for those who love him" 1 Corinthians 2:9.
