Jack Terry Clark was born March 6, 1951, in Montevideo, MN. He was the son of Franklin and Darlene (Winters) Clark.
Jack was baptized as an infant. He was later confirmed in his faith as a youth at St. John’s Lutheran Church of Chaska, MN.
Jack received his education in Norwood Young America, MN, and he was a graduate of Central High School with the class of 1969.
Jack was united in marriage to Delores (Boike) Bandemer Aug. 21, 1994, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Plato, MN.

Jack was a faithful and active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Plato. He held many leadership roles at church, served as an usher, was a part of their Bible study group, and was present to lend a hand at any event that took place there.
Jack enjoyed working on old cars, frequenting local car shows, and collecting old cars. He was a “collector” of many things, some say jokingly.
He loved to spend time outdoors, whether he was working in the yard or feeding the birds. He enjoyed relaxing and watching TV. Jack loved to be out on the road, whether it was driving for work or taking a drive around the countryside. He cherished the time he spent with his family, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Jack’s faith, family, friends, and hobbies were of great importance to him. Blessed be his memory.
