A little *too* honest. I mean, this guy has sooo much integrity that he/his employer associates with the Clintons? Returning the bonus looks more like a need to overcompensate for something else.
No wonder he couldn't quit. He must have been a nervous wreck. Perhaps he was overwhelmed by a gnawing feeling that he would disappear off of the planet.
With Clark's death last year, Dillard's has the option to buy his shares, but it has discussed letting CDI employees buy Clark's shares instead. Glasgow was in charge of the redistribution and himself stood to buy a part of the company.
Glasgow's family and colleagues say that multimillion-dollar deal weighed heavily on him.
Good Lord, even within a story about a *potential* Arkancide, somebody drops dead.
Bill Clark dies at 63
William E. Clark, CEO of CDI Contractors, died Tuesday at 63 after a bout with cancer. The former University of Arkansas trustee has been one of the giants of Little Rock business.
Ruebel Funeral Home will be handling arrangements.
His son sent a message to friends that said there will be a private graveside service Thursday and a public memorial service at noon Monday at Immanuel Baptist Church. CDI's offices will be closed Monday.
Memorials may be made to the Parks Conservancy, PO Box 7329, Little Rock, AR 72217. This is an effort to restore 13 acres of wetlands on the Arkansas River near the Clinton Library. It will be called the Bill Clark Presidential Park Wetlands as a tribute to his love of the outdoors.
Clark's son William also spoke of the future of CDI, a partnership with Dillard's Inc. He said he had spoken with Bill Dillard Monday and that business would continue as it has for the last 20 years.
