Kent F. Clark

HARTFORD – Kent F. Clark, 66, of Hartford, passed away on Friday, March 13, 2020 at the Haynes House of Hope in Granville, after a long battle with cancer.

Born September 17, 1953 in Cambridge, NY he was the son of the late Earl F. and Aurore (Dessaint) Clark.

Kent graduated from South Glens Falls High School in 1971 and then attended Paul Smith’s College.

On July 11, 1981 he married Beth M. Hall in South Glens Falls, NY

Kent was a bus driver and a mechanic for the Fort Ann School system from where he recently retired.  He loved that job and all the people he worked with. 

Kent enjoyed trips to Maine with his wife, Beth, where they enjoyed relaxing by the ocean and eating lobster dinners.  Kent loved the outdoors, no matter where he was.  He had a passion for classic cars and could be frequently found working on cars and making small engine repairs.  Because of his love for car mechanics, Kent was a well-known parts man in local car dealers and parts stores.  He also was a history buff when it came to wars throughout history and World War II, often learning firsthand experiences from his father in law, Ralph. Kent will be greatly missed.

Besides his parents, Kent was predeceased by his sister, Emilie Y. Ravena; his father and mother in law, Ralph D. and Marilyn L. Hall, whom he loved dearly and helped care for like his own.

Survivors include his wife of 38 years, Beth M. Clark of Hartford; his siblings, James E. Clark, Sr. and his wife, Sandra of Queensbury, Keith J. Clark of Salem, Karen K. Hall and her husband, Larry of Queensbury; as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

All services are private.

Burial will be at the convenience of the family.
