January 19, 2005
PORTLAND - Geoffrey Judson Clark, long time resident of Greater Portland, died in his home on January 19th, 2005, two days shy of his 46th birthday. He was born in Providence, R.I., came as a child with his family to a cottage on the water in Falmouth, Maine to spend the summer of 1970 and, apart from spending four years as a student at Ithaca College and a year living in Australia, never left southern Maine, the place he called home. Geoffrey will be remembered most for the endearing and unusually high level of trust he placed in all people, as well as his generosity, loyalty, humor, trustworthiness and his enduring optimism. Moreover, Geoff rarely missed an opportunity to say hello or strike up conversation with whomever he happened upon in the course of a day: the toll collector, the woman behind the counter, the kid standing in line for an ice cream cone. Geoffrey was an avid sailor on Casco Bay, a highly disciplined ultra-marathon runner, and he loved his regular visits to the gym to exercise body and mind. Geoffrey attended The Fay School in Southboro, MA as a young boarding student before becoming enrolled in the Falmouth School system. Later he attended and graduated from The Hebron School of Hebron, ME before heading to Ithaca College where he was active rowing crew, serving as president of his fraternity, and earning his spending money working as a gifted bartender. Geoffrey worked in several banking and investment institutions during his many years living in the Portland, including H. M. Payson, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Bank North. Though he may have been happiest those years in which he worked as a full-time, stay-at-home dad: playing with Sam and Alex, shopping, cooking, paying bills, writing for a newsletter for stay-at-home dads, and finding time to mature into a master wood craftsman in his shop in the basement. He will be very sorely missed by all, including his grandmother, Mildred S. Clark of Williamstown; his parents: Donald J. Clark of Scarborough and Ruth P. Clark of Yarmouth; his brothers: Craig L. Clark (wife, Clara Jean Howard; children, Anna and Evan) of Saco; Bradford D. Clark (his wife, Caron Nardi Clark and child, Sophia) of Arlington, VT; and Matthew R. Clark of Tokyo, Japan. He will especially be missed by his two sons whom Geoffrey loved with all his heart, which was very big indeed: Alexander Joshua Clark and Ian Samuel Clark, along with their mother and special confidante to Geoff, Sara Morris of Falmouth. He will also be missed by his uncle and aunt, Thomas and Alison Schneider of Darien, CT, whom he loved and admired greatly and with whom he and his boys spent many a memorable time, especially on those visits to Nantucket Island. Geoffrey will be buried from St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Falmouth on Wednesday, January 26th with the service beginning at 1:00 PM, officiated by his brother, the Rev. Bradford Clark and by his long-time friend and mentor, the Right Rev. Stephen Foote, with a reception to follow. Arrangements are by Conroy-Tully Crawford Funeral Homes and Cremation Services, 172 State Street, Portland.
