Norman F. Clark's Obituary
Norman F. Clark Norman was born on January 25th, 1920, in Tacoma, WA. Other than serving in the Army during WWII, he spent his entire life in Tacoma, Lakewood area and in Roy since 1966.
In the mid forties Norman opened Clark's Body & Fender located at 94th and South Tacoma Way. That shop was sold in the late seventies and he continued the business at his Roy property. Norman worked until age 90 at which point it was time to "slow down". His last "project" was repainting a classic John Deere silage wagon for Wilcox Farm.
Norman died peacefully at home under the superb care of Fransican Hospice staff. Norman was preceded in death by brother, Harvey Clark and son, Pepper Clark. He is survived by wife Shirley, brother Luther Fanning, son John Clark, daughter Norma Jo Buchanan of Boise, ID, three nieces, six grandchildren and 13 great-grand children.
