Robert Clark Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Robert Joseph Clark, August 6, 1932 - January 28, 2022 And he cherished that old, rugged cross till the day he exchanged it for a crown. Robert Joseph Clark (Daddy-Bob ) 89, was called home on January 28, 2022. COVID seemingly robbed those who loved him of those final moments but there's no doubt that there was but one set of footprints in the sand as the Lord carried him through those final moments and into His Glory. He was not alone. Robert was born on August 6, 1932 in Russell, KY to Stanley Albert Clark and Mary Eliza Webber both of whom he's rejoicing with in eternity along with all those who preceded them on this journey. His life was full of love and adventures. During his time as a US Marine he was led to Puerto Rico where he fell in love with the island, the people, the food and a girl he would spend the rest of his life with. He is survived by his wife of 48 years Lilliana Clark whom he affectionately called 'Moon'; his children, Stanley Clark, Mary Torres (renamed 'Awesome' by him), Jacob Harris, Robert Clark Jr. and Linda Morehead; his grandchildren who dubbed him Daddy-Bob: Catlin, Mary, Emma, Lilliana, Gavin, Mariana, Murphie and Bellamie. To know him was to love him, to know him was to know love itself. He'd often say 'I'm like Jesus because I love everybody' and he really did he had a kind heart and loved helping people. Any time spent with would him would leave his mark on you, whether one of his funny stories, a life lesson or a Daddy-Bob'ism such as ' Heyyyy there Doctor.', 'You get your mords wixed?', 'See you in the funny papers.' and ending grace with a 'Hot biscuits, Amen!'. He graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN. He later went on to obtain a master's degree in Christian Counseling. He wore many hats from being an FBI fingerprint agent in the 1950's, a US Marine during the Korean War. He was an ordained minister and missionary. He pastored several churches in Tennessee, Ohio and Puerto Rico. He was a missionary and church school teacher in Estate Tutu in the US Virgin Islands. He was a probation officer, counselor and teacher (Daddy-Bob's School of Hard Knocks).... he had a heart of service. Everything he put his mind to, he accomplished. If you ever needed encouragement he was there cheering along. He touched so many lives and saw the good where others could not. He left with no regrets but with a longing for those he loved to have a relationship with the Lord to ensure that one day they all would join him for all eternity. His fear was not of death but of leaving those he loved so dearly behind. He was certain of Heaven and of all the promises of the Lord. His final wishes were to have his remains returned to Guayanilla, Puerto Rico along with his beloved dog Rosco. A service will take place at Ponce Baptist Church officiated by Pastor Pete Fornes at a later which will be shared with family and friends. Condolences may be submitted on-line at www.scotward.com.
