Letter: Remembrance is a treasure

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Thanks so much Bruce for sharing this obituary with us.  I am sure we all can sympathize with you and your family in this time of the loss of your loved one.  However, as for myself I must say that I never enjoyed an obituary as much as I did this one.  I shall never forget this remembrance of the life of your loved one.  I shall forever smile when I think of the Hotel Miller and remember this story about a special man who I never knew but will never forget. 

Thank you for sharing; it is a treasure!

Gene Clarke remembered, growing up in Columbia

"We grew up on the Square in Columbia... Gene had a mischievous streak, he and the late Jimmy Harper (former postmaster) sold iced-down watermelons at the county fair, along with cold beer hidden under the watermelons. Their concession was more popular than most of the others..." -BC

By Bruce Clarke

My second oldest brother, Gene Clarke, passed away this summer. We held a memorial service for him at his church in Centralia, Illinois. Family members attended from all over the US. The service included a 21 gun salute by the VFW from the sidewalk in front of the church. He would have thoroughly enjoyed being at such a large family reunion and gathering of his friends. He was there in spirit.

My father and mother ran the Hotel Miller on the corner of the "Square" and Greensburg St. across from the street from Rexall Drug Store (the hotel burned down many years later). All my siblings worked at the hotel.
