Rep. David Clark dies

Rep. David Clark, the tall, quiet Republican from St. Johnsbury, died Thursday. Clark, 85, had been hospitalized with congestive heart failure the last weeks.


His death had the House Government Operations Committee reeling Friday. Just a month ago, the committee lost Rep. Cola Hudson, R-Lyndon. With their departures went 60 years of institutional knowledge on local government, said Rep. Ken Atkins, D-Winooski.


Clark was someone few people knew well, Atkins said, but he had the respect of everyone.

Our condolences to Mr. Clark's family and friends and a note of thanks for his years of service to Vermont.
 
Dave was a great guy and his common sense will be missed in a body where it is in very short supply
