Arrangements are being handled by ASCENSION FUNERAL SERVICES. - (The Berkshire Eagle) CLARK, Jr., Edwin, a Northampton native, passed away on Saturday, September 13, 2008, after a long struggle with Parkinson's Disease. Born in Northampton in 1933, son of Sophie Noska Clark and the late Edwin Oscar Clark, he graduated from Northampton High School. He earned a degree in electrical engineering, and a master's degree in education. Following his high school graduation, he enlisted in the Navy, serving as a technician in the submarine service. He was first employed by Sperry Rand and later for the Kollmorgen Corporation in Northampton. Following the launch of Sputnik, Ed answered the call for teachers in math and science, and began a teaching career at Pittsfield High School. From there, he went to Berkshire Community College, where he was instrumental in developing an engineering technology program. Professor Emeritus at Berkshire Community College, he taught engineering and engineering technology courses from 1965 until his retirement in 1996. Each year, he organized and, with another faculty member, led the "March Caravan." Several cars full of students drove to Fort Wayne to visit Purdue University, Ed's alma mater, Tri State University in Angola, Ind., and Rochester Institute of Technology and SUNY College of Technology in Utica, N.Y. This experience led many students to transfer their two-year technical degrees into four-year technology programs. Upon returning from this trip, Ed would immediately assemble another group of students and lead them to the Boston area for job interviews. Professor Clark worked with others to create a program for inmates at the Berkshire County House of Correction to take classes either at the jail or on the BCC campus. He also worked closely with others to create the first Retired Seniors Volunteer Program in Pittsfield. At BCC, retired engineers and technicians volunteered their time and expertise and worked on projects within the engineering department. These volunteers had an enormous influence on the students. Ed also worked with many local corporations for employees, as well as displaced workers. Ed and his family lived for nearly 40 years in an 1852 Chesterfield farmhouse, clearing land, building barns, overseeing animals and tending to extensive gardens. During that time, Ed served in various capacities for the town, including selectman, assessor, and as a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. He also devoted spare time to woodworking projects, culminating in a 28-foot fishing boat which he piloted through the lock system to Lake Champlain, where he pursued his hobby of fishing. After retirement, the Clarks relocated to Dalton, where they have lived since 1998. Besides his mother, he leaves his wife of 51 years, Elizabeth Niles Clark; two sons, William and Joseph; a brother, Scott; three sisters, Anita, Martha, and Jane, and their families. FUNERAL NOTICE: The Pastor Robert Kyte will lead a Memorial Service in celebration of Ed's life at the First Congregational Church of Dalton on Saturday, Sept. 20, at 4:30 p.m. Contributions may be made to the Edwin O. Clark Pathfinder Scholarship at Berkshire Community College. This scholarship encourages engineering students who have creative abilities and ambitions to follow their dreams, as Ed followed his. The BARTLETT-WELLINGTON FUNERAL HOME, Dalton, is in charge of arrangements. | ||
