Paul S. Clark ’62

Paul Clark died of lung cancer Dec. 29, 2012, at home in Reno, Nev.

He came to Princeton from Governor Dummer Academy. Majoring in biology, Paul was vice chairman of Orange Key publicity and a member of the heavyweight crew and the Undergraduate Schools Committee. He roomed with Dave Mahoney, Bayley Silleck, Don deBrier, and Buel White.

After earning his medical degree from Cornell, he spent three years with the U.S. Public Health Service in Alaska. He also worked in Nigeria and Biafra under the Red Cross. He next held a nephrology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. Paul moved to Reno in 1975, partnering to develop the first hemodialysis unit and organ-transplant clinic there.

He enjoyed fly-fishing in Nevada and Alaska, as well as his Lotus car collection. Paul recently gave a daughter the 1953 MG that he drove as a youth in Syracuse.

He had three children with his first wife, Pamela. He married Jeannine over 20 years ago and recovered from addiction, embracing the 12-step program while active in the Greek Orthodox Church. Our sympathy goes to Jeannine; his children, Paul, Jennifer, and Tamara; his sisters, Marilyn and Carol; and his stepchildren, Jennifer and Brian.
