It is with great sadness that the passing to the Grand Lodge above of E Comp Roy Clark on 16 February 2014 is announced.
He was 86 years old, born in Lincoln and educated at the City School, Lincoln. He then attended Lincoln School of Art and Leicester School of Art. After moving to Peterborough from Lincoln, he was a teacher of art at Deacons School, became head of Art and finally Head of the Lower School. He exhibited his works both locally and in Norfolk.
He was a family man, married to Joan and had two sons.
He was initiated into Fitzwilliam Lodge No 2533 on 5 May 1960 becoming its Worshipful Master in 1975. He gained Grand Rank in the Craft in 1986 eventually becoming Deputy Grand Sword Bearer. He was a founder member of Thomas Deacon Lodge No 9126 in 1984, a member of the Three Counties Lodge No 9278, Northants and Hunts Lodge of Installed Masters No 3422 and St Peter’s Chapter No 442.
His Masonic career progressed in the Holy Royal Arch and he was appointed Grand Superintendent in 1990, a post he held until 1997. It was appropriate therefore that his Jubilee Certificate was presented by the present Most Excellent Grand Superintendent E Comp Wayne Williams at Fitzwilliam Lodge on 6 May 2010.
