Dearest Jennifer, It took my breath away to see Clark's announcement in the paper. I am deeply sorry for your huge loss of your sweet husband and best friend. As a very wise lady told me about my Bonnie's passing"you never get over it but you get through it".I so enjoyed the many times you and your Sweetheart came into the store for Clark's new suit hunting with you as his best and closest advisor. Clark was a true gentleman and a true leader of our whole community. I can't compare to his stature and good deeds but I was always made to feel respected by Clark's presence. God Bless him and keep him. Love, Norman

Thane Stevens posted a condolence
Sincere condolences from all of us at the Stevens Group on the passing of Clark. Our association and that with Clark has not just been many, many years but can now be measured in generations for both families. It was always a pleasure to meet with him on his visits to Halifax. He was always true to his vision and pushed the firm to greater achievement, all the time displaying the integrity and values of a community minded gentleman. I personally enjoyed over 30 years of lease 'negotiations' with Clark as well as the privilege of constructing your new facility. The education he provided to me through the years will not be forgotten and nor will the good will that was created. Please pass on our sincere condolences to your Mom, whom I only met a few times in the car in the parking lot, and the rest of your family. Best always, Thane Stevens

Lorne and Lynn Brett posted a condolence
This message is for all of Clark's family. When the Bretts came to Saint John in 1982, one of the first significant families for us, was the Clark Sancton family. Clark and a few other families were instrumental in the survival of RNS. Then, as the connection through RNS grew, it was a great pleasure to become friends at the adult and kid levels of our families. Jennifer and Andrew progressed through the grades together, as did Ian and Matthew, and we all watched Heather as she also graduated from RNS. We have been friends and enjoyed seeing the successes of our families over the past 34 years. It is sad to see Clark's passing, but please know that the Bretts have many fond memories of time with the Sancton family members. Jennifer; you will be comforted to know that Clark made a difference in the fibre of Saint John, with his work with the "Y" as well as RNS and other community work. He will be missed by many, and I know that we will connect in the future; all the best from Lynn and myself. as you know, we are in Florida, so will not see you till we return to S.J., but hope that we can share some happy stories about Clark, when we next see you. I know that you have many good friends in Saint john, who will support you in the coming weeks and months. All the best from Lynn and Lorne....
