Clark Ellis Good
OCEAN PINES — Clark Ellis Good, age 67, loving husband, father, grandfather and golf enthusiast, died peacefully on March 16, 2018, after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family and wife, Theresa (TJ) Carter.
Clark Ellis Good
Clark was from Baden, Pa., the youngest son of Gertrude and LeRoy, whom he respected and admired. At the age of 13, he discovered his lifetime passion for golf, when he began caddying for extra money; carrying two bags at a time no less. He graduated Valedictorian from Rochester High School (1969) and from Colgate University (1973) before beginning his early career as a food and beverage manager with Hilton in Hawaii. He moved back to Pittsburgh and began his long career as an executive in the home health industry, where he was eventually transferred to Dallas in 1989. He spent 27 years in Dallas before retiring to Ocean Pines, Md. in 2016 to be near his adored brother, John, the ocean and enjoy quieter times. He also had the wonderful opportunity to reconnect with his loving sister, Edith, and delightful cousin, Patty.
He was married to his soul mate, TJ, for 18 years. Between them they brought four children to the marriage, Clark, Jr., Megan and Kristin from his prior marriage and Jennifer from her’s; and eventually their respective spouses, Emily, Brad, Woody, and Bobby. He had fond memories of their holidays together cheering on four different colleges when everyone got together, playing board games and making killer margaritas. The times he spent with his children and grandchildren, Jayden, Ryan, Sophia, Hannah, Max, and Davis were cherished. He always said, the best present you can give me is your time. Clark and TJ traveled extensively during their 20 years together and lived life to the fullest.
Clark’s passion for golf continued throughout his life with memberships in the Dallas area at Oakmont, Brookhaven, Los Rios and Woodbridge Country Clubs and Bay Club in Maryland. He treasured getting to the golf course early to practice when it was quiet and enjoy the morning sun. He savored the thrill of competition; of course, not so much the agony of defeat. He found such great fellowship with his golf comrades and their love and friendship will always be with him.
He relished his martinis, a great red zinfandel, a rare steak, sushi and golfing, and filled most of his time with his beloved wife, TJ. He was loved by many and will be sorely missed.
A memorial service will be held on March 24, 2018 at 11 a.m. at the Community Church in Ocean Pines. A Celebration of Life event will also be held in April in Texas.
Contributions may be made in his memory to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network at pancan.org.
Arrangements are in the care of Holloway Funeral Home, PA, 501 Snow Hill Road, Salisbury, Md. 21804. Please visit www.hollowayfh.com to express condolences to the family.
