Gregory Clark
MONCKS CORNER, SC: Gregory Paul Clark, 64, passed away on January 13,
Greg grew up in Enosburg, Vermont and graduated from Enosburg Falls High School in 1972 where he played soccer and was the lead actor in his senior class play, “Bye, Bye, Birdie.” After school, Greg worked at Wetherbee’s Hardware, at the Thirsty Boot in Montgomery Center as a bartender, and as a ski patroller at Jay Peak Resort. Greg married Candice on July 26, 1980 in Richford, Vermont and began a long career with the Enosburg Falls Water and Light Department where he first worked as an apprentice, then a lineman foreman, and eventually retiring as superintendent.
For several years, Greg also worked with his father, Paul, and his uncle Luther in their carpentry business. A skilled carpenter and electrician, Greg designed and built his family’s home, horse barn, and surrounding property where he spent much of his time. He had a love for horses and found joy taking care of and riding the family’s Morgan horse, “Chance.” Above all, Greg had a deep passion for music and was a naturally gifted singer who had a wonderful voice. He performed with various country music bands throughout Vermont where he played rhythm guitar and was lead singer. In his youth, Greg enjoyed writing poetry, skiing, classic cars, hunting, playing guitar and various sports including golf, tennis, and billiards. Later in life, he was most happy at the beach and spending time with his grandchildren, whom he loved dearly.
He is survived by his three children and their spouses: Bradley Clark and his wife Yujin of Centreville, Virginia; Dereck Clark and his wife Danielle of McLean, Virginia; and Allison Walker and her husband David Jr. of Moncks Corner, South Carolina. He is survived by four grandchildren: Aidan Clark, Oliver Walker, Avery Clark, and Madelyn Walker. Greg is also survived by two brothers and their spouses: Rick Clark and his wife Doreen; and Joey Clark and his wife Penny of Enosburg, Vermont. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Shirley Clark, his paternal Uncles Douglas and Luther Clark, and his maternal Aunt Dolores “Freda” Barry.
