Welsford Hone "Gus" Clark passed from his earthly mission on February 5th, 2013.
Gus was born on January 21st, 1932 in Provo, Utah to Herald Ray and Mable Hone Clark. He was sealed to his eternal companion Delaine Anderson on August 16th, 1955 in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints. Together they raised four children: Chris, Lee, Suzanne, and Rachel.
Gus was a professor of elementary education at Brigham Young University for 38 years, retiring in 1994. His passion for teaching children and those who taught them was unmatched. Besides teaching at the university, Gus also taught fifth and sixth grades at various times during his career and was influential in many of his students' lives outside of the normal teacher-student relationship. Many of his young students remained life-long friends. He was always willing to help them with advice and counsel with them in time of need.
After his retirement, Gus and Delaine served missions at the MTC in Provo, the Philippines, Thailand, and Roosevelt, Utah. Gus was a life-long missionary exemplifying the Savior in the way he approached everyone he met. He was always seeking ways to help others grow in life. He was an influence for good in all whom he came in contact with. He was especially loved by his grandchildren and spent many summer nights with them at his cabin near Aspen Grove or at his historical home in Moroni, Utah.
Gus enjoyed classic music, fine art, reading and maybe the "occasional" visit to D.I. to collect many of his hidden treasures. We love you Dad, and will miss your presence in our lives.
Gus is survived by his wife of 57 years, Delaine Clark of Orem, their children Chris (Kelly) Clark of Lindon, Lee (Jeana) Clark of Orem, Suzanne (Walter) Kelly of Las Vegas, and Rachel (Mitch) Oviatt of Orem; He is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren; Brother Philip (Ruth) Clark of Holladay. He was preceded in death by his parents and four older brothers: Richard, Stephen, Homer, and Rand Clark.
Funeral services will be held Thursday, Feb 14, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. in the Cherry Hill Stake Center located at 1700 South 400 East, Orem.

Burial will be in the Provo City Cemetery.
