Vic Clark, OQHA Past President & Congress Super Sale Committee Chair passes
We are so sad to hear of the passing of Ohio Quarter Horse Association Past President and Congress Super Sale Committee Chair Vic Clark. Vic was a great man with a wealth of knowledge not only pertaining to OQHA and the Congress, but to all horses in general. He was the master of horse pedigrees and had a genuine love for good horses. We cannot begin to imagine not having Vic at our OQHA events and board meetings or the All American Quarter Horse Congress Super Sale. Our thoughts and prayers will remain with his devoted wife Libby and all of Vic’s friends and family as they navigate this heartbreaking journey without him. Philip "Vic" Clark November 9, 1952 - July 8, 2018 Philip “Vic” Clark, 65, of Shelby, passed away Sunday
