Paul J. Clark

Paul J. Clark, 53, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026.

Visitation will be held at Traub Funeral Home in Bridgeport, NY on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 from 4:00pm - 6:00pm. 

Paul was born to John Clark and Mary Riley in Syracuse on November 10, 1972. He graduated from Cicero North Syracuse High School, and was a self employed Carpenter. Paul was always so proud of his carpentry, and truly  lived for his work, where he met many people and acquired many friends. 

Paul’s family chose for him to be a candidate for Connect Life Tissue donation, giving a gift to others so that they may be able to live fuller lives.

He enjoyed fishing on Oneida Lake, hunting, and was a hockey fan. He loved music, especially Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and similar bands. Paul was bigger than life itself, he liked making people laugh and always had a story to tell. He was personable, a hard worker, and will be dearly missed. 

Paul is predeceased by his mother; Mary Riley, his brother; Kenneth Clark, his grandparents; Ray Clark, Anne and Cornelius “Red” Riley, and his beloved cats. 

Surviving is his father and stepmother; John & Julie Clark, his siblings; Krissy & Steve Harmer, Travis & Tracy Clark, Missy Bronner, stepsisters; Jessica Liepke & James Ludwig and Sarah & Tad Atkinson, his grandmother; Betty Lytle, as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and many close friends. 

Please consider a donation in Paul’s honor to The American Heart Association, The Humane Society, or a charity of your choice.
