Howard G. Clark, age 88,
of The Colony, Texas
passed away on August
29, 2010. Howard was
born January 5, 1922 in
Milltown, Indiana to Levi
and May Clark. He is
survived by his wife
Patricia Clark; 6 chil-
dren, Marc L. Clark and
wife
Sandy of
Clarksville, Indiana, Ken
L. Clark and wife Jean of
Little Elm, Texas, Billy C.
Tidwell of Boulder,
Colorado, Mari Beth
Yarbrough and husband
Wayne of Flower Mound,
Texas, Sherrie L. Chaulk
and husband Chaz of The
Colony, Texas and
Ashley R. Robin and hus-
band Jason of McKinney,
Texas; as well as by 10
grandchildren; Steven,
Chris, Tracy, Marilyn,
Ashley, Thomas, Ryan,
Evan, Colin, and Nikolas;
and 6 great grandchil-
dren; Megan, Piper,
Gage, Declen, John
Howard, and Taylor Ann
. He was preceded in
death by his parents and
by a brother Frank, and a
sister, Elizabeth.
Howard proudly served
in the Army during
WWII; flying B-17’s for
two tours and 49 mis-
sions over Europe. He
joined the Air Force in
1943 and retired in 1969
after 27 years of service
as a Chief Master
Sergeant. Howard and
his wife, Patricia settled
in Sherman, Texas where
he worked for Sears for
the next 15 years. They
later moved to The
Colony, Texas where he
worked at Stop and Go
for 10 years. He lived in
The Colony for the last
27 years. He worked
tirelessly for most of
those years in support of
the local Masonic Lodge.
Howard was a member
of the Presbyterian
Church, Masonic Lodge,
Scottish Rite, VFW, and
the American Legion. He
served as the Secretary
of The Colony Masonic
Lodge and was a 32nd
degree Mason.
Howard enjoyed spend-
ing time with his children
and grandchildren.
Howard and Patricia
loved to camp in their
various RV’s over the
years, where they were
regulars at many local
campgrounds. He was a
mechanic and a DIY'er
before the term was
coined. He worked on
everything, but his life-
long passion was auto-
mobiles, which he
worked on until he could
no longer walk to the
garage by himself. He
touched the lives of so
many people during his
time here on earth. He
was always willing to
help his family, neigh-
bors,
strangers.
friends, or
He lived by
the golden rule and led
by example. He never
judged, never com-
plained and always gave
110%. He always said his
prayers before bed each
night and would thank
God for the life he had
been given. He loved his
wife and family dearly.
His family and friends
will always miss him, but
they are at peace know-
ing that he is now in
heaven with his parents,
brother and sister.
Howard himself would
proudly say that he had a
wonderful life. We were
blessed to have him and
now have a very special
Angel watching over us.

Cardiology for your Future,
here Today .................................
In the last sever-
al years the world has
experienced an epidemic
of obesity. The percent-
age of overweight adults
is highest in the United
States, although Western
Europe is not far behind.
Two thirds of the individu-
als living in the United
States today are consid-
ered overweight with 40-
45% of them considered
in the obese category.
Unfortunately, the sub-
group of individuals expe-
riencing the most rapid
expansion are the morbid-
ly obese. It is estimated
that 23 million people in
the United States have a
body mass index over 35.
With this increas-
ing incidence of obesity
has come an increase in

BARIATRIC
SURGERY
has come more aggres-
sive attempts to control
body weight. Many dietary
fads, nutritional supple-
ments and pharmaceuti-
cal agents have been uti-
lized to correct obesity. In
the last 12 years an
increased use of surgical
therapy, known as bariatric
surgery, for the morbidly
obese individual has
gained popularity.
Bariatric surgery
is currently utilized in indi-
viduals with a body mass
index greater than 40.
obstructive sleep apnea, J Although several types of
bariatric operations exist,
coronary heart disease,
stroke, hypertension, dia-
betes mellitus and high
blood cholesterol, as well
as degenerative arthritis
problems and depression.
The loss of life associated
with these problems is
dramatic. A 25-year-old
morbidly obese man has
a 20-25% reduction in his
life span compared to an
individual who is normal in
weight throughout his life.
This translates to approxi-
mately 10 years of life.

614 Edmonds Lane, Suite 101
Lewisville, Texas 75067
the most common opera-
tion today is some type of
gastric bypass proce-
dure. Other procedures
involve some type of
stomach banding to
reduce the capacity of the
stomach.
Although these
techniques can result in
dramatic weight loss, it
was not clear what their
benefit might be on other
medical problems. This is
now becoming more
clear.
A recent review
of bariatrio surgical
results has demonstrated
that, in patients undergo-
ing bariatric surgery for
morbid obesity, there is a
dramatic improvement in
many of the medical prob-
lems associated with
overweight. For instance,
diabetes was completely
resolved or improved in
86%, high blood pressure
reduced to normal in
75% and obstructive
sleep apnea went away in
as high as 90% of the indi-
viduals who had success-
ful bariatric surgery.
Given the trend
for obesity in this country
and the dramatic health
problems associated with
sleep apnea, diabetes
and hypertension, we
may well see a shift in the
use of bariatric surgery
from simply a technique
for treating the super
obese individual to a more
generalized strategy for
treating the very over-
weight individual to
reduce the long-term risks
of heart disease and
stroke.
If you have ques-
tions about bariatric sur-
gery or any other cardio-
vascular problem please
give us a call. We would
love to see you.
