CLARK, Dr Jerry H. passed away on Thursday, September 18, 2003 at the age of ninety. He died as he lived, in a valiant fight, and in the company of his family.

Jerry was born on October 25, 1912 in Texas the third of four children. Upon the death of his mother, Alice Bret King in 1929 he took over the care of his youngest sister, Tini. He graduated from Cisco High School at the age of 16, valedictorian of his class. He worked his way through school, from Randolph Junior College, Southern Methodist University to the University of Texas, Austin, where he earned his Phd in Psychology. His main diversions from school and work were girls and music, both pursued through the auspices of his band, J and His Midnight Revelers.

Jerry served in the Army for twenty-nine years, starting as private and retiring as a full Colonel. Following WWII he moved to California, at which time he found, and fell in love with Santa Barbara. He was a Professor and Registrar of the Santa Barbara Teachers College when it became UCSB and moved to its current location. He spent many carefree years on Miramar beach, playing beach volleyball with what became life long friends. In the spring of 1958 he met the love of his life, Edith Mattiat at the Plow and Angel Bar in Montecito. Shortly thereafter, Jerry got married, returned to active service and had a son, Jon.

Jerry retired from the Army in 1971 and happily returned to Santa Barbara. Jerry avoided retirement by becoming the first Psychologist at Sansum Medical Clinic, another source of lifetime friends. He became actively involved in local politics and in supporting the professional practice of psychology, becoming President of the California State Psychological Association twice and President of the local association more times than anyone can remember. Jerry worked in some fashion until the end of his life, taking time off to cause trouble here and there, and spend time with his grandchildren.

Jerry had a lifelong interest in fitness as a champion tennis player through his sixties, and later as a swimmer through the end of his life. He enjoyed baking and making waffles for anyone who would appreciate them, and never missed the opportunity to tell a joke. He would not turn away from a just fight, and placed tremendous value on hard work and getting a good education. Jerry had an intense interest in people and was quick to reach out to others in their times of need.

Above all else, Jerry loved his family and friends. They were, he said, what made life worth living. Jerry is survived by his wife Edith, son Jon, daughter-in-law Susan and grandchildren Austin, Nate and Sarah.

Jerry's family would like to thank all those that supported him over the years and asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Planned Parenthood of Santa Barbara or the Community Environmental Council.

Spencer Terry "Dick" Hollis 1890-1938

(1) OBITUARY The Hico News Review...July 15 1938

Lifelong friends of S. T. ( Dick ) Hollis, 49, were grieved and shocked Thursday morning to learn of his sudden death at his home here at 11:15 about 45 minutes after he was reported to have swallowed the contents of a vial of carbolic acid.

No reason has been found for the rash act further than the suffering Mr. Hollis had undergone the past few years of failing health. About two years ago he was seriously ill at a hospital and he had never recovered from the ravages of that illness.

Medical aid was summoned immediately after Mr. Hollis had gone to the kitchen of his home and told Mrs. Hollis what he had done. A weakened heart and the effects of the potion were more than his pain wracked constitution could endure and within a short time he succumed.

Details of funeral services were not obtainable Thursday afternoon pending the arrival of out-of-town relatives.. A son, Hector, and a daughter, Mayo, were immediately notified at Bakersfield, California and telephoned at 3 o' clock Thursday afternoon that they were leaving at once by automobile and expected to arrive here within 24 hours. Besides these two children and his wife, Mr. Hollis is survived by another son, Jack and another daughter, Mary Helen, of Hico, as wellas a number of other relatives.

Members of the family have the understanding sympathy of a host of friends, formed through their lifetime citizenship in this section, where they have spent all their lives. The family moved to Hico nine years ago from Duffau where Mr. Hollis operated a store for several years.
