Clark was born in Mobile, Alabama on May 21, 1941 to Lessie Williamson Jones and Abner Clark Jones, Jr. Clark attended Vigor High School before serving his country on the USS Saratoga. Clark and Joan were married for 32 wonderful years before Joan lost her battle with cancer in 1992.

After decades of hard work, Clark retired from the chemical shipping industry in 2000.
