William P. Clark, who rose from campaign volunteer to one of President Ronald Reagan's most trusted advisers, has died. He was 81.
Clark died Saturday at his ranch home in the central California town of Shandon after a long battle with Parkinson's disease, according to his son.
"It's been a hard fight for him, but we do feel he's in a better place and he's not suffering any longer," Paul Clark said Sunday.
The elder Clark began working for Reagan by managing the actor's 1966 gubernatorial campaign in Ventura County, north of Los Angeles. He ascended to various political jobs as Reagan moved from the Golden State to the White House.
