HARRY (HAP) WAGNER CLARK

Harry (Hap) Wagner Clark, beloved husband of Elsie Adeline (Campbell) Clark, passed away at the Rockyview Hospital in Calgary, Alta. on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2004 at the age of 87.
Hap and Elsie were married 62 years ago, on Aug. 17, 1942, in Emo, Ont.
Hap was born April 21, 1917 in Virden, Man. At the age of 19, he moved to Fort Frances, Ont., where he got a job with Western Grocers so that he could play baseball.
His career with Western Grocers (Westfair Foods) took him to Edmonton, Alta. in 1953, then to North Battleford, Sask. in 1963 and finally to Calgary in 1966, where he was manager until his retirement in 1982.
Besides his loving wife, Elsie, Hap will be remembered by his four children and their families: daughter, Pam Bednar and husband, Larry, of Calgary, Alta., and granddaughters, Jeannine of Johannesburg, South Africa, and Emily Kolaczek and husband, Andy, of Calgary, Alta.; son, Earl Clark and wife, Deborah, and grandchildren, Sandy and Janelle, all of Melbourne, Australia; son, Glen Clark and wife, Deborah, and grandsons, Brandon and Logan, and step-grandchildren, Jennifer and Sean O’Brien, and Natalya and Jesena Andoney, all of Calgary, Alta.; and daughter, Heather Kembel and husband, Gary, and grandchildren, Graeme and Evelyn, all of Yarker, Ont.
Hap also is survived by his brother, Jim Clark of Winnipeg, Man.; sister-in-law, Mary Clark of North Vancouver, B.C.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
As Hap would say, he was a rich man—he had the love of so many.
A memorial service was held Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2004 in Calgary.
