His dedication and world class application support helped grow sales in Asia by more than 800% during the past 12 years”. Clark will continue to help Beckwith Electric as a part time consultant. Clark readily accepted the challenges presented during his long career and earned the opportunity he has now to spend more time with his family and friends, and pursuing his other interests. When asked the usual question about his retirement plans, Clark said, “I’m just going to relax and enjoy time with my family.” Everyone at Beckwith Electric will miss Clark and wish him all the best in his retirement.
