Paul Clarke

Hey Mary, I'm so sorry to hear that Paul has passed (Sam let me know)! I really enjoyed knowing him and YOU. He was one of the funniest people I have ever met and so laid back (guess he had to be with all those kids and how busy he was - I had no idea he had done all that)! We miss those Colimore/Clark days when we had all those projects going on at the County at one time! I know it is hard on you all and such a terrible loss, but you have been through a lot and I know you will pull through too. Just keep laughing. He would want you to!

Wishing you all the best,

It was truly a pleasure being a classmate of Paul's at the CU school of architecture and seeing him and Mary from time to time through the years. What a nice person he was.

Dear Mary, and all the children and families,
We were privileged to know Paul when we lived in the Downs and had many wonderful times with the family, sharing car pools to St. Mary's, and other fun, neighborhood events. What a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He will be truly missed by all who knew him. Our deepest sympathy to the family for your great loss.
With loving thoughts and prayers,
Joan and Bodie Delaney and Family

Dear Mary Jo and family, so sorry for your loss of Paul, We have fond memories of times with you at AIA functions. Bless you in these difficult times.

Dear Mary and Family, I knew Paul from the Annapolis Senior Center and what a dear man. He came to the pool room and shot pool with a few years back and was a delight. I spoke with Paul everyday at our snack bar where he volunteered and always had a big smile on his face and I spoke with him everyday. I was in shocked when I missed him then to find out he had passed. My condolences to you and the family and he will me missed but will always be remembered. Sharon Williams

Dear Mary and all of Paul's family, The Annapolis Senior Center has lost a beloved friend. It will never be quite the same.......Jane Cartney

Sending love and condolences to all of the Clarke family. You are a beacon of strength and humor. So, thank you, Mr. Clarke, for leaving us your amazing legacy of your children and grandchildren. Wish I could toast you at Riordan's.

I have such fond memories of my cousin Paul. As my sister, Betty, said, he was like our big brother, never annoyed and always patient. His family was always the most important thing. Love you, miss you, PJ.

Dear Mary, Kathleen and Clarke family.
Pat and I were totally surprised to hear of Paul's passing. We remember fondly the first day we met you and the kids. You walked down our driveway with 11 kids in tow (Just like a mother duck with her ducklings) and told us you were moving in next door, and, "oh by the way, could we use your bathroom". I thought oh no! What was I getting in to. But you were great neighbors and friends for over 30 years. Our heartfelt condolences to you all.

To Mary and the Clarke kids,
Very sadden to learn of Paul's passing . I enjoyed working with him during his time at Greenhorne and O'Mara.

To Mary and Family, I'll always remember Paul as a great business associate, creative architect and most of all a supportive friend. I was happy to reconnect with him, even though for a short time, in my retirement. May he rest in peace.

To Mrs. Clarke, Kathleen, all of the Clarke siblings & children & grandchildren -- It was my privilege and good fortune to meet Mr. Clarke and all of his family, through my late husband, Michael, one of your next door neighbors for years. Michael loved you all, and so do I. Kathleen, you were such a blessing and good friend to me last year when Mike passed. My sincere condolences to you at the passing of your Dad. May God Bless you and your Mom, and the rest of your wonderful family. Much love and sympathy.

Dear Mary and Family -
Paul was the calm, cool and collected fixture on Maryland Ave for so many years. We will miss him so. - Janie and Lu from Annapolis Accommodations and everyone else from "The Avenue".

Dear Miss Mary and Family,

We here at the Annapolis Senior Activity Center will miss our beloved "Snackbar Czar" Paul Clarke. We enjoyed his wit and laughter just as much as he enjoyed being here at the center and running the Snackbar. He will be surely missed by all who knew him.

I'm so saddened to hear of Mr. Clarke's passing. Growing up next door, I knew Mr. Clarke to be patient, kind and calm. His gentle manner was a stabilizing influence. My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to his family, my old friends.

He was the consummate 'big brother' and one of the kindest, most patient people I have had the pleasure to know. I loved him like a brother and he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Paul.

My dear friends, as Kathleen said, I can only imagine the reunion in Heaven. Know that my prayers and love are with you. May peace come swiftly and make its home with you.

Sending hugs and prayers to my dear friend Julie Clarke Finnegan on the loss of her beloved father, and to the rest of her incredible family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The passing of a loved one is truly a devastating time. The Bible can really be a source of comfort for you, I encourage you to read Philippians 4:6,7 where it says through prayer you can have "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding."
