Lawrence M. "Shrimp" Clark, 93, of Loysville passed away on Monday, March 14, 2016 in the Carlisle Regional Medical Center.
Shrimp was born in Juniata County on November 29, 1922, son of the late Hugh and Margaret (McClure) Clark. He was also preceded in death by two brothers, Blair Clark and James Clark and two sisters, Esther Adair and Helen Rohm.

In his earlier years he was an avid baseball and softball player and was particularly well known for his fast pitch in softball. He was a self employed dairy farmer in his younger years; foreman for the PA Highway Department and retired from PPG Industries in 1985.
In the summer months he absolutely loved his gardening and was very happy to share his produce with family, friends and local churches for their annual church suppers. In the winter months he enjoyed putting together jigsaw puzzles, attending camp meetings, hunting, playing cards with his buddies and gathering and suppling friends and family with beautifully shelled black walnuts.
