P. Wayne Clark passed away on Sunday, April 13, 2014 at the age of 88. He was born on July 3, 1925 in Chesbrough, LA. He was a former resident of Hammond, LA, New Orleans, LA and most recently Bogalusa, LA. Wayne is survived by his wife Fay Thomas Clark, his sisters Dorothy Alford and Margaret Cutrer, his son Richard Wayne Clark and his wife Carla, his daughter Virginia (Jenny) Clark Pansano and her husband Pat, and his granddaughter Lindsey Virginia Pansano. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Malcolm and Joanne Myers, his nephew and many nieces. Wayne was preceded in death by his first wife, Betty Myers Clark, formerly of Hammond, LA and his sister Mary Clark Hunter. Wayne was a veteran of the US Navy, where he spent his time testing airplane engines. His love of automobiles began when he worked for Hook's Pontiac in Hammond, LA. From there he went on to be a loyal employee of the General Motors Corporation from 1957 to 1987. He worked as an instructor at the General Motors Training Center in New Orleans training students how to repair anything related to automobiles. Wayne was a member of the Antique Automobile Club of America, The Slidell Antique Car Club and a former member of the Horseless Carriage Club in New Orleans. Some of his happiest times were those spent with a friend's car in the driveway on a Saturday morning trying to diagnose an engine problem and travelling thousands of miles in his 1960 Pontiac Catalina, which he loved, to attend various antique car functions all over the USA. He was always ready to share his vast knowledge and loved to see the raised hood of a car so he could walk over and offer assistance. His wealth of knowledge and love of automobiles was immeasurable.
