“Joe Les” as many knew him was born February 18, 1954 in High Point, NC. A son of the late Marvin J. Clark and Ruby L. Jacobs.
A resident of High Point, most of his life he attended his elementary schooling at Baldwin Chapel School and later attended T.W. Andrews where he played football for the Red Raiders. He was a man full of life who lived his life to the fullest!! He had an impact on everyone he met.
He was known for his outgoing personality, witty sense of humor and flirtatious ways.
In his early years Joe Les delivered groceries on a bicycle that was much larger than himself with an oversized basket.
He later went on to being called “the ice man” delivering ice to many businesses. His passion was entertainment. As an entertainer, he had a way of being flashy with his appearance winning “The Mack of Year Award”. To dazzle the crowd, his imitation of Louis Armstrong and his rendition of James Brown was on point, from a smooth dancer to becoming a masterful DJ spinning the records on the turntables.
Joe Les found transformation of life while attending TROSA. He graduated recognizing and embracing his responsibilities as a son, brother, father, mentor and friend.

You know there is a saying that goes like this "You had to been there ". No words could adequately describe the experience, excitement and joy that "Joe Les" brought to any event that he was present. We always had a ball. It's is truly indescribable. But if you ask anyone, you'll see a smile come over their face to let you know, something good happened. That is the look Lester got as he was welcomed into the gates for his rest and reward. Loving legacy from his earth friends, classmates and neighborhood. So long from the McCullough Family and friends.
My condolences to the Clark family much love and respect to Lester Clark a true mentor and inspirational Legend whom also inspired me he will dearly miss also a big brother you were the true pioneer DJ of High Point NC and where ever you performed
