My Dear Willie. I just learned you were called home to be with your beloved wife to whom you spoke so fondly of. May your soul rest in peace. You were a lot of fun to work with! You are missed.  My Condolences to is daughter and family.  God Bless. Renee Lacey

  I am a former Chgo. P.O.    I have the fondest memories of always seeing a smile on Willie's face at the change of watch.   He would take the time to "pass the breeze" during  these short exchanges.



What a gentle giant. Willie was larger than life itself. What a great role model he was. When I joined the National Guard I met Willie and looked up to him for his superb leadership. He would never lead you wrong and was always available to help out in any situation. My brother you will be truly missed. Enjoy your eternal rest soldier for you’ve earned it...

Willie was my cousin. I remember growing up on 62nd and Langley visiting my big cuz. He was 13 years older than me, but he always treated me like a big kid when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I remember when I returned from active duty and joined the National Guard and seeing him there to my surprise. We had many great adventures in the military while training and on overseas deployment. He was a big teddy bear but watched over me and helped me to retire from the military.  When I wanted to quit, he counciled me like the big brother (cousin) that he was. I was so thankful to him, and I expressed it to him every month when my retirement check would hit the bank. God Bless.

My prayers are with Natasha and family.  This happen so quickly.  You were just wishing me a Happy Birthday a couple of weeks ago on my birthday video.  It was a pleasure knowing you and I will always be here for you daughter if she needs me.  Rest in Peace.

May God continue to comfort the family and warm your hearts as you remember the good times with Willie. We worked together on the police force for over 15 years and I never met a more dependable and dedicated  person like Willie. He will be terribly missed. Rest on my friend.
 from: Retired Officer  Thomas Taylor 10th District.

I have known Willie Clark on and off since 1978.  I was in the National Guard with him for more than 20 years; he was both supervisor and associate to me.  He was always diligent in his duties, and expected the same of those around him.  At the same time he was a good listener, and could also be a good friend once you got to know him.  We had overseas duty together in Germany, Panama and the Philippines.  It was in Germany that I really got to know him, since we served there together for several months.  After retiring, we met together at several reunions and other gatherings.  I most recently saw him at the funeral of Sergeant Mosely in February 2020.  I have often thought of him as a person who made a real difference in my life, and I know that he will be looking down on me and all others that he has left behind.  

Willie Clark, was my 1st cousin, and I also considered him my big brother. Willie was so loved, because he was soft-hearted, no nonsense, Family guy. I was happy when I found myself in a water aerobics class with Willie, we loved every moment. I feel so humbled, grateful, and Blessed to have been part of his life.  2 Corinthians 5:8 we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the lord. Love you,Willie 

I worked with Willie in the old 010 District in the early 90s. He was a dedicated police officer who always worked hard and was a team player. He will be missed. Thoughts and Prayers to his family.
