Johnson Clark, age 85

In November, Clark, his wife, Louise, and resident Jeff Heaton started the hillside of crosses across from the BART station that has ignited public debate about how to appropriately honor soldiers killed in the Iraq war. The display has brought widespread media attention to the suburb.

The crosses will remain until the troops return, said Louise Clark.

Johnson Clark was a history buff who was knowledgeable about battles around the globe.
