Born in Fall River, a son of the late Dr. Thomas and Margaret (Gray) Clark, he was a longtime resident of Somerset, moving to Swansea after his stroke.
A graduate of Moses Brown, class of 1975, he worked for over twenty years as a Warehouse Manager for Perkins.
Tom had a deep appreciation for the outdoors. He enjoyed biking, kayaking, boating and soaking up the sun at Baker’s Beach. A lover of dogs and a dedicated collector of model trains, he also enjoyed skiing. A true people person, he enjoyed sharing jokes, engaging in conversations about history, and reminiscing with loved ones. Tom was a great cook, with one of his many specialties being baked stuffed shrimp.
He is survived by two children, Samantha Clark of Fall River and Thomas Clark III of Austin, TX; three sisters, Joan McDonald and her husband Joseph of Swansea, Dr. Margaret Clark-Moroff and her husband Richard of Berkley, Elizabeth “Lisa” Driscoll and her husband David of Somerset; lifelong friend, David Auclair of Rehoboth and several nieces and nephews.
