I posted this on RL as well. Sad situation. Great guy.

I read through this thread this evening and paused to think about the unselfish contribution that Clark had to the global 944 community. Truly an incredible service provided to enthusiasts from all walks of life. A rare legacy of positive effects of sharing; even if its all centered around our daily transportation and recreation.

Literally, minutes later, my neighbor walks into my home with a very sullen expression. I joked with him a bit. "who died?" His wife cut me off with a quick, "actually, one of his colleagues at work died this week...diving accident". I was floored.

What was his name? He answered, "Clark". "His name was Clark Fletcher".

My fellow Rennlisters, I spent most of this evening hearing about Clark and his unassuming contributions to his work colleagues and his family. Apparently, his contributions go far beyond what he has given to our community. He was truly a special person. I regret that I was so close to actually meeting him and did not.

R.I.P.
