Howard Lee Clark, Jr. passed away peacefully on June 19th, 2020.
He was a long-time resident of Alexandria, Virginia. Originally from Dillon, Howard Lee came to Virginia after graduating from Clemson University. He worked for the Department of the Army as an electrical engineer for over thirty-five years. Howard Lee was a member of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House in Alexandria, and an amateur radio operator and supporter of the National Railway Historical Society. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Susan Ball Clark, with whom he spent many happy years. He was also preceded in death by his parents, Howard L. Clark and Kate Rogers Clark, sisters Sarah Clark Dennis, and Sue Clark Bond, and his nephew Charles Dennis.

Howard Lee will be missed by his many friends, colleagues, and family. He was a kind and gentle man who brought a smile to almost everyone he encountered. His devotion to the Clemson Tigers and his sense of humor were just a couple of the many things that endeared him to others. He is interred at Presbyterian Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia. Plans for a memorial service will be announced at a later date.
