Peter N. Clark, 73, of Ellington peacefully passed away on Thursday, February 16, 2017 at Hartford Hospital after a long period of failing health. Born in Hartford, the son of the late John "Jack" and Elizabeth "Libby" (Williams) Clark, he grew up and lived in Windsor, and East Windsor before moving to Ellington in 2000.
He proudly served his country in the U. S. Army during the Vietnam War. A sociable man, Pete enjoyed engaging friends and associates in conversation. For many years, he successfully sold construction tools and equipment in New England and in Canada. In addition, relying on his sales experience, he tirelessly assisted his daughters with fundraisers for school, and with his brother John, for the traumatically brain injured of Connecticut. Peter still had time to devote to coaching girls' softball, caring for his landscape, playing golf, softball, and tennis.
