Dear Shirley, Linda and Families. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to All of You. I have many fond and wonderful memories of Mr. Kennedy as a Sunday School teacher, Choir member, Church Council member, and Cemetery Board Trustee. He was an advisor and mentor to me during my childhood and adulthood. He used to chuckle that I always referred to him as Mr. Kennedy. Referring to him as Mr. Kennedy demonstrated my deep respect to him. He was a kind and generous man. Take care. Brenda, Evor Leonard and Family.

Thinking of all of Clark's loved ones during this time. Remembering Clark's love for his community, how he lived his faith, his respect and stewardship for nature and the land. He always had a kind word, smile and wave for anyone he met. Everyone was treated equal. I remember he would think before he spoke, hearing all sides of a discussion before offering his wisdom. He always called my mother Mrs. Bell, never by her first name although told he could. The world needs more Clark Kennedy's but we have been made richer and better for his presence here. He has received his Easter. Now reunited with all those he loved and has missed. Clark will now enjoy black forest cake to the fullest whenever he wishes - not just for his birthday! Sorry I am unable to attend his service and share with you in person but you will be kept in my thoughts. Peace be with you. Sandra Bell-Buttars
Linda, Shirley and families, we extend our sympathy to you all during this sad time. I have such treasured memories of Clark, as a Sunday School leader, during my youth. Later singing in the choir and many other Church activities. Clark was a wonderful man with a beautiful smile. I always enjoyed my visits with him.
At haying time Clarke would call to help in storing hay in the barn, his parents worked much of the morning to provide a hardy noon meal for the workers. Wonderful people, I cut their grass and part way through Mr Kennedy Sr would come out to have a chat and pay me. One time Clark had me cut weeds and long grass around his corn silage pit and was stung by wasps more than a dozen times. I chuckle to think of a conversation Clark and I had about cars. While most us think of luxury items, not Clarke his options were heavy duty battery, radiator etc. A fine neighbour to us. I cherish the memories.
Linda & Shirley and families our condolences on the passing of Clark. He was our neighbor having grown up on Kennedy Rd. He was true farmer and loved his animals. The Kennedys where great neighbors. A joy to chat with whenever we met. Thanks Clark for being part of Camborne life. Doug and Esther Linton

My condolences to Clark's family. May he rest in peace.
A dear neighbor who was a respected and a caring man. I remember singing with him in the Port Hope mail choir. As a youngster I remember waving to him as he and his brother-in-law Marvin Kinsman passed by our home on their tractors. Rest in peace. Bev & Marg Linton
Clark was a wonderful man and he will be missed. Just missed his 99th birthday which would have been in May. Thinking of all his family at this time. Neil and Brenda Manley
Shirley- Our heart felt condolences to you and the family members. Clark was the best neighbor anyone could ask for! What a wonderful man to know!
Shirley - Our thoughts are with you and your family during this time. We have missed Clark since he moved from his home, but thought of him often.
