Passed away surrounded by family in Ottawa on Saturday, February 17, 2024; age 92 years. Born December 22,1931 to Daniel and Margaret Clark in Assiniboine, Saskatchewan.

And by great- grandchildren Avery, Noah, Austin and Zoey, and by his niece Anne.
Allan grew up in Ottawa joining the Airforce at 18. He was one of the founding members of the Civil Aviation Accident Investigation Board of the Department of Transportation. Allan’s legacy was making air travel safer for all of us. He was an avid boater and spent years enjoying the waters around Vancouver Island with Sandra before returning to Ottawa to spend more time with family. Over the past 25 years, Allan enjoyed time with family and friends both hiking and on the golf course. He will be missed by many. Thanks to all of the staff on B2 Surgery at The Ottawa Civic Hospital for their amazing care and family support.

To Sandra and the entire Clark clan, our deepest sympathy and condolences. "Uncle Allan" who never liked the moniker, will be missed by all. His infectious smile and laugh will be remembered by all. HIs passion for flying and his amazing story telling of his RCAF experiences was one of the reasons for our 39 years of memorable service in the Canadian Forces. Thank you for the great memories, rest in peace
