Andrew Garry Clark, 34, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., passed away unexpectedly on October 11 in Florida.

Although he lived in Florida as an adult, Andrew was born in Winchester, Mass., on Feb. 1, 1988, and grew up in Boxford, Mass., with his parents, Peter and Martha (Osberg) Clark. He graduated from Masconomet Regional High School and attended the University of Vermont. While in high school, Andrew enjoyed playing soccer and was an acclaimed springboard diver and swimmer.

Andrew worked for many years in restaurants as a line cook and sous chef, a daring occupation since he had many food allergies. He was an excellent cook and always wowed us with wonderful meals. He later had a career selling health insurance and was in the process of opening his own office.

He is survived by his parents and two sisters, Abigail L. Clark and Elizabeth O. Freierman, with her wife Rachel and children Asa Ames and Wilder Osberg Lee. Andrew also leaves his aunts, Nancy L. Durocher (Frank), Sally R. Osberg and Pamela H. Brewster (Tom) and eight cousins. He greatly respected and loved his uncle, the late Richard H. Osberg, and his grandparents, the late Calvin and June (Lander) Osberg of Sandwich, N.H., and the late A. Garry and Mary Lou (Lowman) Clark of Painted Post, N.Y. In addition to his family, Andrew leaves his many good friends and co-workers in Florida.

A celebration of Andrew’s life will be held at the First Congregational Church, 33 South High Street, Bridgton, on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m. It will also be live-streamed on the First Church website, http://www.fccbridgton.org/remote-worship/
