He also served as the Distribution Coordinator for the Our Town publication. A lifetime member of the NRA, he loved hunting and fishing and was especially proud of catching a record-setting striped bass out of Lake Wallenpaupack.

Frank was renowned for his exceptional cooking and took great pleasure in preparing (big) meals for his family and friends. Gatherings around his table were filled with warmth, laughter, and good food. Frank was also a loyal and unwavering fan of the New York Rangers hockey team.

Above all, Frank loved his family. He was a devoted father to his two sons, Mahlon Wayne Clark and Joshua Michael Clark.

Also surviving are his sister, Mandy Singh and her husband Robbie; two brothers, Darron Clark and his wife Kelly and daughter Mason Clark, and Brien Clark and his wife Lucinda Schaefer and their son Landon; a brother-in-law, Mark Weidner and his wife Jamie and son Ethan; a sister-in-law, Jennifer Cervasio and her husband Dom and their daughter Olivia; a brother-in-law, Tony Calicchio and his wife Sara and their children Tialynne and Alexander; and his mother-in-law, Carol Calicchio and her husband Charles.

He was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Larry Weidner; a brother-in-law, John Weidner; and a sister-in-law, Allison Weidner. He is survived by Larry’s wife, Luanne; John’s son, Dale Weidner, and his wife, Tania, and their daughter Natalya; and Allison’s daughter, Annalee.

Frank will be remembered for his kind heart, love of family, passion for the outdoors, and the joy he found in cooking for those he loved.
