Clark H. Watson

Clark H. Watson, 63, of Lowell, MA, passed away on Sunday, July 2, 2023, at Apple Valley Center in Ayer, MA.

He was born in Nuremberg, Germany on October 30, 1959, and was a son of the late William and Maria (Weimer) Watson. He received his education in Lowell schools and was a graduate of Greater Lowell Vocational Technical High School. He worked at Courier Citizen in Lowell, MA; Ivex Novacel, Inc. and the Nashua, NH School District, where he retired in 2016.

Clark enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. His favorite pastime was riding his motorcycle, especially on an annual trip to Americade in Lake George, NY with his best friend, Billy Foote. He was also an avid Patriots fan and enjoyed going for long rides on his bicycle. He was a free spirit who loved to explore.

For the past 6 years and 9 months, Clark has resided at Apple Valley Center in Ayer, MA. Where his twin sister, Ramona, visited him daily and took such great care of him. Clark suffered from Cerebellar Ataxia and in March 2023 was diagnosed with late-stage cancer.

Clark was loved by the staff at Apple Valley Center. He sure knew how to make them laugh. The family wants to thank the nurses and CNA’s for the loving care that they gave Clark all these years.
