Today, we remember Joe Clarkโ€”a visionary, passionate table tennis player, and pillar of our Allentown community.

Joe wasnโ€™t just the force behind iconic places like the Allentown Table Tennis Club building and Crocodile Rock Cafe; he was also an active, nationally rated member of the United States Table Tennis Association whose enthusiasm for the game inspired us all. At 75, Joeโ€™s journey has come to an end, but his legacyโ€”etched into every rally and cherished memoryโ€”will live on.

Rest in peace, Joe. Your spirit will always rally our hearts and every ALVaTTc member will miss you dearly.
