The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 188.

            A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Harold B. Clark, former member of the House of Representatives.

            Whereas, This body was saddened to learn of the passing of former Representative Harold Clark, a conscientious and dedicated member who served the Seventy-third District for eight years; and

            Whereas, Harold Clark's chosen career was the practice of law. Born in Crane Valley, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1927, he attended the University of Western Ontario for his bachelor of arts degree and the University of Detroit for his legal education, earning both LL.B. and J.D. degrees. During his career he served as the chief trial lawyer for the Office of the Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney and as a state representative; and

            Whereas, Harold Clark was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1964 and served his Macomb County constituents faithfully for eight consecutive years. His foresight and vigor were well noted among his colleagues as he chaired with distinction the committees on Marine Affairs and Public Utilities, and served as vice-chair of the Committee on Insurance. He also contributed his knowledge to the Public Safety, Judiciary, Liquor Control, Revision and Amendment of the Constitution, and many special committees during his tenure; and

Whereas, In his private life, Harold Clark embodied community spirit and participation. He was a former vice president of the East Detroit Board of Education, and a member of the Elks Lodge, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He also enjoyed training and breeding thoroughbred racing horses. He leaves behind a loving family of three children, seven grandchildren, and five great grandchildren; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Harold B. Clark, a distinguished member of this legislative body from 1965 to 1972; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the family of former Representative Harold Clark as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
