Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather passed after a short illness, February 27,2018.
Ronald was born on June 26, 1935, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to William and Doris Clark. He met the love of his life Martha Simpson, March 18, 1958 and they were married June 27th, 1959. Together they raised 7 brats that turned out to be good caring adults.
Ronald served honorably in the United States Navy.
He enjoyed having his family around him for any reason but he enjoyed it most when the family could get together in daughter, Penny, and son-in-law, Travis', backyard for a celebration of his and Mom's anniversary.
Ronald delighted in spontaneous road tripping as well; one minute he'd be asking if we'd like to go for ice cream, and the next thing we knew we'd be in San Francisco! He was a great craftsman, too, taking on many woodworking projects during his lifetime.
Ronald's true happiness though was his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.
His greatest loss was that of his son Terry on May 27th, 2017.
Ronald is preceded in death by his wife Martha, his parents William and Doris Clark, sister in law Fern, Parents in law William and Leah Simpson, Tony Steadman, Wes Egbert, and Grandson Adam Daly.
