John Rodney Clark, Sr. passed away suddenly on March 4, 2017. Born November 30, 1947 in Washington, D.C. to Fannie J. (Clark) Hawthorne and Julius R. Clark, Sr., he graduated from Coolidge High School and went on to earn his Bachelor's Degree from Howard University and Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Cornell University. Mr. Clark had over 35 years of Federal service, beginning as a Management Intern in the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and rising through various administrative management positions in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). He ascended to the highest level of the Senior Executive Service (SES) and retired from his role as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Resource Management in the Office of Science in 2004.

Mentorship was a key component of his life. Mr. Clark's initial mentees were his sons, who each attained postgraduate degrees from top universities. He formally and informally guided dozens of men and women at DOE to higher levels of professional achievement. Mr. Clark volunteered thousands of hours to guiding young African-Americans in his church's Boys Rites of Passage Program, to providing valuable advice and direction to young MBAs enrolled in Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, and to advising/supporting his mentees throughout their lives. Due to his untiring community service efforts and exceptional professional achievements, Mr. Clark was one of the first recipients of President George H.W. Bush's "Thousand Points of Light" Award (1990), and was the second recipient of Cornell University's Wilbur Parker Distinguished Alumni Award (2004). These were two of many recognitions for his service to his country, his profession, and his community.

Mr. Clark is survived by his beloved and loving wife of 43 years, Diane G. Clark (MAT); elder son, John R. Clark, Jr., MD, FAAP and daughter-in-law, Chanelle Clark, MD, FACOG of Houston, TX; younger son, Kevin J. Clark (MBA) and daughter-in-law Udanda N.

Obituary

WILLIAMS LEROY WILLIAMS, JR. "Lee" Joined his parents and older brother, among others, with Our Heavenly Father on Saturday, February 1, 2014. A native Washingtonian, he attended Keene Elementary, Rabaut Junior High and Coolidge High Schools. Lee briefly served with the local Army National Guard and the U.S. Navy; and, he was employed by the D.C. Board of Elections for almost 30 years before retiring as a computer specialist in October 2013. Lee loved his life! He especially relished sporting events - so much so that he sought and obtained a successful part-time gig as an usher at Verizon Center, where he enjoyed the camaraderie and friendship of his colleagues; and, sports - as a younger man, he was a fantastic volleyball player. Lee liked to travel, exercised by walking to most places, and doted on his niece and godchildren. He took great pleasure in being around good friends; and he took even greater pleasure in being around good food and those good people who could prepare it. As such, Lee steadfastly disallowed anyone to interfere with how he lived his life. He kept a couple of mini-journals; in one he copied: "Life is short. Don't make my day long." At the same time, Lee valued a Christian life. To that end, he sought knowledge and salvation initially through his home church, Tenth Street Baptist Church. Ultimately, Lee gained solace at First Trinity Lutheran Church in Washington, DC, where he frequently attended, when he was working on Sunday afternoons. He believed when he also copied: "Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery; today is a gift." Lee is survived by two sisters who loved him, Kathy S. Williams and Anita G. W. Fogan; a compassionate sister-in-law, Lois Williams, and two nephews, Lymond Jr. and Darryl; a cherished niece, Avonda S. Fogan and her father, Hubert Von Fogan; a dear uncle and aunt, Charles and Catherine Jones; his adored godchildren, Tyrone, Lesley, Quenton, Leah; and, a tremendous host of relatives and friends. A Memorial Service will be held February 22, 2014, 10 a.m. at Tenth Street Baptist Church, 1000 R Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20001; 202/232-1685. Arrangements entrusted to LATNEY'S.

Obituary

Please be advised of the passing of our classmate, Carl Tillman, on Saturday, December 18, 2010.   To be "absent from the body" is to be "present with the Lord" (2 Cor. 5:8).  We believe and abide in the peace of knowing and trusting in God's assurance that... Death is not so much an exit out of this life as it is an entry into the Lord's presence in a very personal sense.
