In Remembrance of Dan Clark

We have very sad news to share. Dan Clark passed away on Sunday April 3, 2022.

He unexpectedly had a massive heart attack early last Tuesday Morning and in spite of the best efforts he never recovered.

He died surrounded by his wife and daughter, and with friends far and wide taking time to remember him. Friends sang for him "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," one of his favorite songs.

We who knew him well are all heartbroken.

For over 11 years as a HERS Rater, Dan was a colleague, mentor, and friend. He was calm, wise, and compassionate.

He had the highest ideals, and he followed through on them. He communicated his ideals and his knowledge with patience and sensitivity. He was a consummate teacher.

Together, we had many good times, and we accomplished much meaningful work - right up until his last day.

He was 69. His life was an example for us all.
Please take a moment to reflect and remember Dan.
