Clark was born in Lower Cape on January 15th, 1929  the son of the late Henry and Frances (Tingley) Nelson. 

 

Clark was a hard worker and was a Stationary Engineer, he worked for the NB Oil Fields in Weldon, Fundy National Park, Department of Transportation and Brunswick Bottling before his retirement.  

He enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting.  He was also the type of guy that would lend a hand to anyone in need. He enjoyed driving his tractor and plow truck which he did as long as his health would let him.  If anyone needed plowed out or helped out in anyway, Clark was there.  He also enjoyed playing cards, especially a good game of 200 and spent hours at the table playing solitaire. Clark was a very gentle and kind man who was a great role model for his grandchildren and all the children that grew up around him.  He will be remembered for his little chuckle when he laughed and that great smile. "His legacy of love will live on in our hearts forever."
