Officer Tom Clark suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after completing a physical agility test while trying out for the department's canine unit. He returned home following the test, informed his wife he did not feel well, and laid down.

A short time later his wife checked on him and was unable to wake him. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead that evening at Rochester General Hospital.

Officer Clark had served in law enforcement for 16 years. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Tom,
I can't believe that it's been six years since you've been gone. I remember that night like it was yesterday and I will never forget.
You have a very strong and beautiful family. The girls are a constant reminder of you. The way Madie says certain things, and just look at Lizzie...she is a mini Tom. And Jean is a great mom. She keeps the girls in line...kinda how she kept you in line.
Continue to watch over us Tommy. Love Ya!!!
