In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
CLARK, Kingsley William - Age 85, passed away peacefully at his home in Centre Burlington on April 16, 2020. Born in Gaspé Que., on February 11, 1935, he was the son of the late Ralph and Jessie (Mullen) Clark. King spent 23 years in the Canadian Navy, and on leaving the Armed Forces he worked for several companies before settling in at the heating plant at Acadia University. He was a very quiet and well-read man, with many interests and gifts, not the least of which was his dry sense of humour. He spent many years as a Boy Scout leader, had an abiding interest in photography and was a very skilled woodworker. King is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years who will miss him dearly, Julia "Julie" (Emberly); daughter, Debbie (Richard); daughter-in- law, Cindy Clark; grandchildren, Candice (Rob) Bentley, Mike (Carey) Oliver and Aric Fice; great-grandchildren, Charly Mae, Olivia and Everett; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his son, Ralph; sisters, Reta, Gail and Della; brother, Morris; in-laws, Jack and Anna Emberly. King will be sorely missed by us all! Cremation has taken place. Due to the current Nova Scotia Health regulations concerning the Covid-19 virus, there will be a graveside committal service held at a later date. Donations in memory of King may be made to Scouts Canada - giving@scouts.ca, Tel: 1-613-224-5134 ext. 284. Arrangements have been entrusted to the compassionate care of J. Wilson Allen Funeral Home, Hwy. 215, Summerville, NS. (Halifax Chronicle-Herald 20 Apr 2020)
