Born on 30 October 1918, son of English immigrant farmers Charles and Constance Clack, he and his brothers Douglas “Doug” Clack (1917-1993) and Fred Clack (?-1990) began collecting antiques in 1945 that led, in 1983, to establishment of the Clack Family Museum. The facility now comprises some 17 buildings. He died at Hamiota, unmarried, on 13 July 2014 and was buried in the Oak River Cemetery.
