Clark's Memorial Page

William Nuschler Clark III (aka Clark) March 1993 – May 2007

Clark was a dog that everyone will remember. Summer after summer, he was the most asked about staff member at Camp Ronald McDonald. He touched the heart and soul of every camper, volunteer and staff member that came on site. A mellow dog with the most compassionate eyes you ever saw, Clark brought love and joy to all. Even those who were intimidated by his size came to realize this was a gentle giant. Clark loved to beg for food and subsequently became the 14th rule at camp (Don't feed Clark!). Yet, the begging was endearing and often a way he bonded with campers. He enjoyed being outdoors, especially the lake, and spent many afternoons swimming with campers. Many campers requested Clark come by their cabin at night for a good night pet. Clark also made rounds to the health station to be sure all was well. There was no area, building or room that wasn't in Clark's domain; but he knew not to go into the kitchen! To watch Clark hang out with our campers and see the affect a black lab could have on the non-verbal, the hearing impaired, the emotionally crushed or the cognitively impaired was truly magical. Clark, thank you for the best 14 years! You are missed!
