A. James (Jim) Clark, 87, of Vero Beach, FL died March 20, 2015 of Congestive Heart Failure.
He attended Bethesda-Chevy Chase high school; graduated from Devitt Preparatory School in Washington, DC; and received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park.
Born in Richmond, VA,[actually Henrico County], Clark and his family moved to Bethesda when he was 6 years old.

His companies built more than 1200 projects in the Washington metro area during his tenure and many more nationwide.
Clark was well known for his philanthropy and gave generously to universities, medical facilities and other organizations that helped veterans, the homeless and the disadvantaged. Clark served on a number of corporate boards and was a strong supporter of the Republican Party.
An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed golfing, fishing, and hunting with family, friends and colleagues.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Alice Bratton Clark; two sons, Paul Clark and wife Carol Parrish, of Mill River, MA and A. James (Brad) Clark, Jr. of Bethesda, MD; a daughter, Courtney Clark Pastrick and husband R. Scott Pastrick, also of Bethesda, MD; and ten grandchildren. Preceding him in death are his parents, Woodruff and Sally Wray Clark and his sister, Jeanne Curren.
A Memorial Service is planned for Wednesday, 8 April 2015 at 10:00 AM at The Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Mr. Clark's honor to A. James Clark Scholarship at the University of Maryland, 3207 Kim Engineering Building, College Park, MD 20742.
