Prayers for the family.
I had the chance to work with LT when I first started out with the sheriff office. He was a very good person and always had good advice to give you when you needed it.
So sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. I worked with Frank for 25 years at Pulaski County S.O.
RIP Lt Clark!! You will be dearly missed! I miss hearing your laughter in the dispatch room, it was never a dull moment with you around!! We love and miss you !
Sorry for your loss
Rest in peace Brother
