Raymond Eugene Clark was born on January 30, 1944, at home at Ozark, rural Jackson County Iowa, to Raymond and Azetta (Cooper) Clark. He graduated from Maquoketa Community High School in 1963.

He worked at Clinton Engines in his early work years and then began his professional journey at KatridgPak in Davenport, Iowa, dedicating over three decades as an inspector. His meticulous nature and commitment to excellence were evident in his work, earning him the respect and admiration of his colleagues.

Beyond his professional life, Rick was deeply committed to serving his community. He proudly served as a reserve police officer in DeWitt for several years, a role that allowed him to make a positive impact on public safety and community trust. His passion for service did not end there, as Rick also devoted his time to the Boy Scouts of America.
