James Newell Clark

His parents, Philip L. and Helen (Woodman) Clark, welcomed their son into the world on August 20, 1946, in Worcester, MA. He grew up in Worcester, MA, later moving to Troy, NH. James was a graduate of Monadnock Regional High School in Swanzey, NH.

James was skilled with hands and his mind. He worked for many years as a machinist with Kingsbury Corporation, and Schleicher and Schuell. He later owned and operated his own businesses, Acre Lawn Service, and American Blind and Shade Company.

When not hard at work, James enjoyed a good game of golf, boating, and riding his motorcycle. He found great solace in listening to music. He also enjoyed caring for his home and mowing the lawn. His fondest memories were times spent with his family, especially the cherished memories created with his wife, Carol Ann, going on vacations together, especially vacations to Florida.

He will be greatly missed by many, especially his children, Shannon Amlaw and husband, Matthew, Andrew Clark and wife, Lori, Karen Hoffman and husband, Glen, Kevin Nottage, Tina Clark and husband, Fran, Russell Nicholson, Sterling Nicholson and wife, Debbie; sixteen grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and a sister, Gail Lehtinen. He was predeceased by his wife, Carol Ann (Sherwood) Clark; a son, Steven Nicholson; grandson, Dennis James "DJ" Nesbitt, Jr.; a sister, Phyllis Callahan and her husband, Jim, and their daughters, Terry, Robin, and Tracy; and a brother-in-law, Roger Lehtinen.
