07/15/09 - NNHS Newsletter - Roy Clark Roy Edward Clark (02 July 1918 - 13 July 2009) Chapel Hill High School Class of @ 1935

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,    

   There is sad news this Wednesday morning.      Roy Clark, father of      Chip Clark ('65) of Northern VA and    Peyton Clark ('68) of NC, passed away in Durham, North Carolina on Monday, July 13, 2009 just eleven days after his 91st birthday. He is survived by his second wife, Alene Williams Clark, mother of Joyce Williams Nettles ('63) of VA and     Sandi Williams Patrick ('64) of VA.

   I was personally very sorry to read this.  I remember Mr. Clark as a frequent visitor to Magruder School back when we were children.  He always seemed to beam with pride in his sons - as well he should.  My sincerest sympathies to Chip and Peyton and their loved ones at this time.

           Roy E. Clark

			DURHAM, N.C. - Roy Edward Clark, 91, passed away July 13, in Durham, NC. He was born in Durham on July 2, 1918; his family later moved to Chapel Hill, where he attended Chapel Hill High School. After graduation from the University of North Carolina in 1940, he moved to Newport News and worked at the Shipyard. During World War II he served as a radio operator in the Merchant Marines and was awarded both the Atlantic War Zone Bar and the Combat Bar with 1 star. After the war he joined the real estate firm of Hundley and Applewhite, later establishing his own real estate company. He served the state of Virginia as a parole officer for two years, then returned to the field of real estate through Civil Service as the Family Housing Officer for Fort Monroe. When the Army Recruiting Command needed someone to help coordinate the recruitment offices for all the branches of service nationwide, they chose Roy. He then established and managed the Housing Office at Langley AFB until his retirement.
