January 26, 1923 – December 31, 2017
Robert W. Clark passed away Sunday, December 31, 2017 peacefully in his home of Fishers. He was born to Herman Patrick & Edith Myrtle (Hurlock) Clark on January 26, 1923 at home in Noblesville.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Norma Jeanne; three children, Cherie (Dale) Bryant, Stan (Betty) Clark and James Richard Clark, all of Fishers; eight grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
Robert, more commonly known as Dub Clark, was a lifelong resident of Hamilton County. He was a farmer before retiring in 1988. He was a founding member of the Fishers Volunteer Fire Department and served as Chief for several years. Dub graduated from Fishers High School (Tigers) in 1941, which closed in 1967 but reopened in 2006 where his love for sports led him to become one of Hamilton County’s biggest fan of basketball, baseball and football. Then, when girls sports came along, he added girls softball and basketball. Dub was on the sidelines of most every game for the HSE Royals and the FHS Tigers, even traveling to away games and tournaments. When his beloved Royals and Tigers weren’t playing, he would find a home game in the county. With the re-opening of Fishers High School, Dub and his family started the MUDSOCK trophy. Dub also enjoyed playing, and if he couldn’t find a sports game, he would find a place to play in the county. He was a big fan of truck and tractor pulling when his sons participated in the pull at the Hamilton County Fair. Later, several grandsons and a great-granddaughter and son-in-law all competed throughout the state and country.
Visitation will be from 2 to 8 p.m. on Friday, January 5, 2018 at Randall & Roberts Fishers Mortuary, 12010 Allisonville Road, Fishers. Services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at the funeral home, with Rev. Stanley R. Sutton officiating. Burial will be at Lowery Cemetery (Fall Creek Township) in Fishers.
