You will be greatly missed. We all love you.
Love you Pappaw, miss you every moment of every day.
I have great respect, admiration, and affection for "The Silver Fox". It was a pleasure knowing Clark and playing softball with him for many years. He was a good man and our family will miss him. Love, Mel, Chris, Mike, and Jon Pfeiffer
So Mel, did you know you Idle was married and having an affair with Darlene. And that have never saw his biological children or paid child support. What a great guy to respect and have admiration for.
Looks like Darlene forgot to mention his biological children Belinda Hicks and April Hicks. That he never made an effort to see, go to graduations, marriages, birth of his only biological grand child. Or what his biological daughter play basketball, softball ( which was an excellent athlete). Pay child support. What a great family man?
