Robert Lee Clark, 81, passed away Tuesday, August 26, 2014 in Arlington surrounded by his loving family. Robert was born October 11, 1932 in Frisco to Ernest and Fannie Clark. He was a Grand Prairie High School Gopher and attended Arlington State College. Robert worked at General Motors for 32 years and retired from the Material Department.
Robert insured everyone he met knew he was a Marine. He proudly served our country as a U.S. Marine during the Korean conflict. The Marine Corp recruiting office knew him well as he visited often to pick up stickers to hand out to anyone he thought needed one!

-
Safety First: Please remember to properly hydrate (including

if you feel you need to get in the shade or get indoors and
always ask for help at any time. Also please do not forget

- Please remember that our mission
is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for
this patriot and their family. NO TALKING, SMOKING, CHEWING
OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, OR CELL PHONE USE IN THE FLAG LINE!
- We will park along the main street close to the
designated shelter with 2 bikes side by side as close to the
curb and each other as possible so that traffic can get by.
- Riders NOT UTILIZING HANDICAPPED PARKING are requested
to park as far forward as possible at the Visitor's Center
to keep the closest spaces available for other guests.
- Let's always remember to keep the motorcycle and voice
noise to a minimum when arriving and leaving the shelters.
- Cemeteries are hallowed ground. Please keep radios off
and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed
limit. Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the
one we are honoring.
