Clark, Lester. Leslie ("Lester") Allan Clark a soudainement quitté ce plan physique le samedi 15 avril, à l'âge de 68 ans. Le salon de coiffure de Lester était une institution de l'avenue Beechwood jusqu'à l'incendie de 2011, mais son amour du service, notamment auprès des hommes en soins palliatifs ou hospitalisés, n'a pas cessé. Barbier depuis l'adolescence, Lester a embrassé de tout cœur, dans la quarantaine, la foi bahá'íe et ses enseignements sur l'unité mondiale. "Depuis cette première rencontre, j'ai l'impression d'être tombé dans un lit de roses !
Il a apporté un soutien extraordinaire aux étudiants bahá'ís, interdits d'études en Iran, qui cherchaient à faire des études supérieures au Canada. Shabnam Mohammadhosseini en faisait partie ; elle et Lester se sont mariés en 2006. Prédécédé par sa mère Colleen Farmer et son père Malcolm Clark, Lester laisse Shabnam, sa sœur Maxine (Bob McLaughlin), Patrick McLaughlin, Trevor McLaughlin, Tammy McDonald, Paul McLaughlin, son frère Malcolm (Cathy Hogan), Darren Hogan, Claudette Clark, Darryl Brown et Debbie Brown. Son inhumation aura lieu dans les jardins bahá'ís du cimetière Capital, 3700, promenade Prince of Wales, le jeudi 20 avril à 11 h. Par la suite, la gentillesse, la noblesse et la bonne humeur de Lester seront commémorées avec amour au Centre bahá'í d'Ottawa, 211, avenue McArthur.

I had the pleasure to have Lester as one of my Baha'i school teachers for a year as a child. I remember him as warm person with a very contagious smile. Lots of love to his whole family. Sorry for your loss.

Hi Shabnam,
So sorry to hear of Lester‘s passing. I only briefly met him one or two times. This was so sudden, and must have been quite a shock for you. My sincere condolences!

I had the pleasure to have Lester as one of the volunteer drivers who drove our team from Ottawa to Brockville in order to conduct Baha'i children's classes. On the way back and forth, we enjoyed listening to his wisdom and what he has learnt from the difficulties he had faced including the fire. He also mentioned his beloved wife whom I've not met and how grateful he was for having her. I've not known him for a long time but he definitely has left an impact on me. Shabnam, my sincere condolences. May God bless his soul and give you the needed patience.

I am very sorry to hear of Lester’s passing. In 1988, my friend Beth and I opened a bakery on Beechwood Ave right next door to Lester’s barbershop. How lucky for us to have such a great neighbour! Lester was witty and very kind. Between baking and haircuts, we would often gather on the sidewalk for regular chats. The dogs in the neighbourhood could always find a treat on Lester’s bench in front of the shop! My son had his first haircut at Lester’s as did many kids in the neighbourhood. Lollipops were always on hand for the occasion. Beth’s brother would drive in from Arnprior for a regular trim. Lester was a shining light! My condolences to his family.
