Bert Edwin James Clark, 51, Tyrone, died Tuesday morning at Hillview Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center after a brief illness.

Bert was a 1986 graduate of Bellwood-Antis High School. He was formerly employed as a carpenter and also a lineman at Figure 8 Communications. He attended school for the craft of upholstery which in turn sparked his interest and love of leather craft.
