Vaughn Clark Obituary

JAMAICA - Vaughn Thomas Clark Sr., 69, a resident of Jamaica, VT, passed away March 3, 2016, at SVMC, his wife and brother at his side.
Vaughn was born in Springfield, VT, on November 13, 1946, to Lloyd and Phyllis (Shattuck) Clark. He graduated from Burr and Burton Seminary, attended New England College, graduated from UVM after serving in Vietnam and earned master's degrees from UConn, Univ. of CT. and Arizona State Univ.

Vaughn also enjoyed working on his property at Cole Pond, both working in the garden and building furniture and decorative pieces. He is sorely missed by the family dog, Bear, who stayed by his side during his final year of fighting cancer.
Vaughn is survived by his wife, Sherry; sons Vaughn T. Clark Jr. and his wife, Sue, of Stowe, VT, and Benjamin M. Clark and his wife, Tami, of Jacksonville, FL.; his mother, Phyllis; brother, Vince, and his wife, Pamela, of Bondville, VT; and five grandchildren.

I am really saddened to hear about Vaughn. I have so many wonderful memories -all our high school years- the skiing and races we went to and hanging out with the mountain boys! Vaughn and his family are in my heart and thoughts during this hard time.

Vaughn and I were in the 7th & 8th grades together. Even at that young age he was the consummate gentleman. I remember being caught in English class in 8th grade by Mrs. Underhill when we were telling very "off-color" jokes. My condolences to the family.
