AUBURN – An Auburn man who towed disabled vehicles for nearly a half-century will be making his last ride in a procession of tow trucks and wreckers as family, friends and colleagues bid him a final goodbye.

Harold “Jack” Clark died Tuesday night at age 83. Don St. Germain of Don’s No Preference Towing said the truck cortege was one of the things Clark wanted done when he died.

The vehicles will gather Saturday at the First Assembly of God Church in Lewiston and pass through Jack’s Garage before finally heading to Gracelawn Cemetery. The last vehicle in the procession will be a flatbed carrying Clark’s last wrecker and his casket alongside.

Clark, a father of eight, was known for his kindness toward those in need. St. Germain said Clark often reduced or eliminated charges when he thought a customer was in tough straits.
