Kevin P. Clark

I've listened to John Prine's "Hello In There" countless times times over the decades, but it's had a new meaning these past 2 years. If you've listened to the song, then you know where Kevin came from - a place of heart, empathy, and compassion.

I think of my good friend Kevin, on most days, and he often appears in my dreams on a nightly basis, always the way that I remember him; big as life, and with a smile on his face. The dreams always include his high school gang of close friends; Dave McMurray, Pres Ruddell, Bob Lynch (deceased 2013), George Neale, Skip Griffin and myself. Hardlly a day goes by that I don't see on television an old famous character actor that was on Kevin and his brother, Neal's, character actor list. ...

I met Kevin in 1964 on the basketball court after my family moved to Needham from North Carolina, played on many teams together at NHS - he was an outstanding basketball, baseball and football player in high school, going on to become an all-conference lacrosse player in college - and became good friends, but after graduation went separate ways. In 1987 Glenn Merkel got our group together again, and we began an annual tradition of gathering in Wellfleet for a weekend reunion every year,...

It's that twinkle in his eye, the smile on his face, the sincere excitement in his voice, when he greeted us or when he was talking about something he was into - and he had so many interests - those are some of what I miss about KC. But, really, I can see and hear him now - he's easily brought into my mind's eye. I'm reading a book now that he recommended. I feel he's around, as I turn the pages. Love to Gwen, Brian, Jeff, Chris, and Jeanne - Pr

I consider myself to be very lucky to have been Kevin's friend for almost 60 years. His storytelling and his wit were unmatched. He was a great family man and I trusted his judgement on just about everything. A great human being that I loved and will greatly miss.

December 27, 2019. Kevin and I first met in 1959 in grade school basketball. By the time that we graduated from Needham High School in 1967, we were to be life long friends. A humble man who chose his words carefully, I still consider his acceptance speech the night of the Medway High School gymnasium in his name, as one of the best speeches that I had ever heard. I sat with his six close high school friends and teammates that night, and the speech moved more than one of us to tears. The...

I first met Kevin (KC) in 5th grade in 1959 when the Harris School basketball team played Mitchell School. In 1962 we joined ranks on the Pollard Jr. High basketball team, and became fast friends for the next 57 years. From 1987 until this past October, Kevin and I and 5 of our other Needham High School friends and teammates traveled to Cape Cod to spend four wonderful days together. I will never forget how Kevin was there for me when I was recovering from a stroke that at the time...

My deepest sympathies to the Clark and Mattia Families, I'm truly sorry for your loss. Coach was a powerful figure to many; including myself over the time I spent playing for him. It'll always be "A Great Day to be Alive!" Coach and although you've left us here on earth; I'm sure the whistle is around your neck teaching life lessons to All in Heaven! God Bless; #50 will Miss You Always, Coach! Thank You for everything and your great spirit will resonate with me always! Deli~

I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Kevin's entire family.
I met The Clark and Friswell's after their brother Neal passed away in Hancock NH in January 2018. What a kind and loving family. Kevin was so passionate about honoring his brother's life and keeping his memory alive. He was so gracious, thoughtful, intelligent and loving. A truly remarkable man whom I feel privileged to have met.
A tremendous loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
