Mr. Clark died unexpectedly Tuesday, April 5, 2016, at Tennessee Valley Health Care Systems Alvin C York Campus in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He was born August 3, 1932, in Keosauqua, Iowa to the late Edna Bragg and Delbert Boyd Clark. Mr. Clark served in the US Navy as a Mineman Seaman from 1949 to 1953. He then became an electrician and later an electronics specialist with Warner Lambert Corporation in Rockford, Illinois. He retired in 1997, moving to Cookeville, where he lived for the last 19 years. During his early retirement Del was an enthusiastic golfer and fisherman and devoted much of his time to remodeling the family home. In later years he was an avid reader, weekly card player, and a daily fan of the Sudoku puzzle. He could always be found with his constant companion, his little Schnauzer, Lexie, nearby.
