RIP old friend Johnny Clarke

Johnny died on the morning of the 3rd of Cancer. Our father's were business partners and we grew up seeing each other quite a bit. Just had a nice long phone chat with him a week or two ago. Really good guy.

Obituary in the Fort Worth Star Telegram

Johnny's mouth was paralyzed or something so that it was permanently pulled to one side - from childhood polio. It affected his speech some, but nothing else I ever noticed. He had an admirable disposition. - dc

Here's what I wrote in Memories and Condolences at the obit site

Johnny's father and mine were business partners. He wasn't my closest friend but the oldest and a good one. Glad we spent the time together we did in 2012 and 13 when I was in town helping my mother who dealt with Johnny frequently and thought of him as part of our extended family. In a recent phone conversation, Johnny exhibited the same old sense of humor and wit. Farewell Johnny, good man.
