Stan Clarke

It is with a feeling of deep sorrow and tremendous loss that we inform you of the passing of Mr. Stanley Clarke. Stan was a friend to all and a firm believer in the Tool Group of Canada and all that it stands for. He was an excellent woodworker and a master electrician. The breadth of his knowledge was only surpassed by his generosity and smile. Stan had an amazing tool collection, a fabulous workshop, and extensive knowledge, and he shared them all freely.

If it were not for Stan many of us, including this writer, would not have known about, or joined, the Tool Group of Canada. We would not have benefited greatly from the group sharing of their knowledge of antique tools and the tremendously strong interpersonal bonds that have developed.

We have lost a great man and a true friend.

Rest well Stan.
