William Harold Clark

William Harold "Bill" Clark, age 58, of Butler, Ohio, passed away Monday evening, January 25, 2016 at his home. He was born December 19, 1957 in Paw Paw, Michigan to Donald and Patricia (O'Grady) Clark. He graduated from Mattawan Consolidated Schools before going on to college. Bill worked for General Motors at the Kalamazoo & Mansfield plants for 32 years in WEMR skill trades before retiring in 2008. Bill was as comfortable in the water as on the land. He was a skilled scuba diver and even a scuba instructor for many years in Kalamazoo. No fish was safe when Bill was on the water. He enjoyed bass tournaments and any opportunity to be in the outdoors. Fishing was such a passion of his, not even the cold would stop him as he enjoyed a venture out to go ice fishing. A favorite destination for camping and fishing trips was upper Michigan as well as the UP. A skilled woodworker, he also enjoyed his model trains as well as finishing a crossword puzzle. He is survived by his wife Kathi Clark; children Rob (Rene) Clark and Nikki (Charlie) Timberlake; grandchildren Roland, Kylee, Mali and Bentley; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by a brother Tom Clark.
