Thomas Y. Clark
March 22, 1918 — November 11, 2014
Thomas Y. Clark (T.Y. or Buddy), 96, passed away on Tuesday, November 11, 2014.
He was born March 22, 1918, in Louisville, KY, the son of E. H. and Maggie (Perry) Clark. He was married on February 6, 1943, to Evelyn B. (Fox) Clark. In addition to his parents, Thomas was preceded in death by Evelyn, his beloved wife of 69 years, and a brother, Edward.
Thomas, a World War II veteran, worked for two years as a meter reader for Louisville Gas and Electric, and several more years as an accountant at Tube Turns. He then became a minister, serving for more than 50 years. During his ministry, with his wife Evelyn at his side, he served in various Churches of Christ in the Louisville area, including Rowan St., Kentucky Ave., Iroquois, and Buechel, where he was a member until his death.
After officially retiring as a church minister, he continued his passion for the Lord's work by overseeing a mission effort that includes over 75 native preachers in the Philippines. He continued that work until his death.
He was a devoted Christian father of four children, Thomas Clark (Alice), Sharon Lawyer (Lawrence), Patricia Anne Long, and Stephen Clark (Katrina). He was blessed with 11 grandchildren, Christopher, Kimberly, Emily, Jennifer, Adam, Austin, Jonathan, Brandon, Stephanie, Kayla and Kyle; and 9 great-grandchildren, Rylen, Jace, Kendall, Brooklynn, Kenric, Micah, Adia, Abel, and Peyton.
