Frederick H. "Freddie" Clark, 91, passed away at home on Friday, August 5, with his loving family by his side. Born in Trenton, New Jersey Fred attended Trenton Public Schools, and graduated from Trenton Central High School. Fred was drafted into the United States Marine Corps in 1952 during the Korean war, and served until 1954. Soon after leaving the service he joined the family dry cleaning business, Central Tailors and Dry Cleaners on Spring Street in Trenton.
