Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Greetings grandfather.
I am the grandson of your daughter Norma Jean Clark, and nephew of Geraldine Clark.
And the grandson of Elizabeth Clark, Your family.

Turbulent times in the 1930s, this Facilitated and created plenty of gangs with criminal activity that occurring in Seattle just coming out of The Great Depression.


The one thing the Isn't mention that there was no financial help for his family by the City of Seattle according to families description. I don't even know if they paid for the burial. The family doesn't know where he's even buried today.

Being laid off with a family of three is difficult for any family. you have to take the job that is available, In this case it was a very dangerous job and maybe grandpa was not qualified to handle the situation, Nevertheless that cost him his life.

My grandmother had to raise the children on her own, but being a Strong frontiers woman Along with her Brother and Grandparents help she brought up two beautiful children.

His daughter Norma Jean passed away in 1997 and his daughter Geraldine is still alive today at the age of 95.

I just wanted to make clarification, the obituary Written by these individuals on the site seem to think giving any job to a laid-off person was being thoughtful. I never met my grandfather so I don't know his personality but I think he was only thinking of income for his family and not the dangers that were given to him.
