Peter David Clarke

Did a lot of business with Pete over the years. Just found out today. Condolences to Debra and the rest of Pete's family. RIP

First I'd like to offer my condolences to Debra and the rest of Pete's family. I first met Pete when I was 7 or 8 years old. Pete's dad had a gun shop at the house on Lisbon St. with a side entrance to the cellar shop. There was a Coke machine by the door, we were trying to get a Coke from the machine. I met him again in high school, we smoked in the boy's room at Lewiston High School. In later we rode motorcycles all over the countryside. I shared a garage space on Orange Street with him in Lewiston. Pete and I went to Carlise PA to sell antique signs and gas pumps. On the way back from PA on a long grade uphill the water pump on my pickup went, he was yelling, pull over, pull over as the steam was coming up over the hood, I saw an exit sign. There was a Ford dealer right off the exit. We were back on the road in about an hour. Pete and I went to Indianapolis 500 in 1990. That was a memorable trip. We bought and traded a lot of gas signs and antique stuff. Pete was truly a remarkable individual. I miss him very much. I just found out about his passing today, Memorial Day, 2024. I will plant an apple tree in his memory. Paul Benoit

We always enjoyed his yearly cookouts at his camp/house! He was one of the good ones! (Deb too!!) Deb, I am so sorry for your loss. Pat, Nick and boys.
