Edward Eugene "Gene" Clark Sr., 81, of Savannah, died Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at his
home surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Savannah, GA to the late Edward Alexis

years of wonderful marriage and had two children. Gene grew up in South Gardens where he
attended South Gardens Baptist Church. He graduated from Commercial High in 1955 and
served in the US National Guard. He retired from Southern States Phosphate and Fertilizer
Company as Plant Engineer after 37 dedicated years working closely with Reed Dulany Jr., a
great boss and friend.
