David Angus Clark ’47

Dave joined our ranks in ’43 as part of a great Princeton family tradition, following his father, John H. Jr. 1909, uncles William 1905 and Arthur ’18, and his brothers, John III ’39 and William H. ’41.

During World War II he served in the Navy; during the Korean War he served in the Army in counterintelligence. In 1952, while still in the service, he met and married Angelina “Lina” Panella, and their first child was born in 1953 in Fort Bragg Army Hospital.

The family moved to Pelham, N.Y., when Dave began a long professional career as an account manager for various advertising firms in Manhattan. Lina, too, pursued a rewarding career as a high school teacher in New York City.

Dave’s business life was seasoned by recreational travel with Lina and nicely complemented by his enjoyment of singing — notably in barbershop quartets and choirs — and by his great love of Gilbert and Sullivan. Above all, his life was especially enriched by his marriage and by witnessing the maturation and the evolving bonds of affection with his four children and three grandchildren.

He died Jan. 23, 2007. We send this celebration of our classmate and our warm sympathy to Lina and the family.
