I got a copy of an Obituary for a family member and this one, for Mr. Clark, was next to it. I could not find any other place to post it, this seemed like the best place. I searched for a list of the dead from this fire and found none. They didn't even have a solid number of the dead from this fire. I have no connection to this person just wanted to save the obit and maybe start a memorial place for the victims.
