Clark Bono, age 81, passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Clark was born in Buffalo, New York, and graduated from the University at Buffalo (SUNY).

As a highly experienced general contractor, Clark found a unique calling in specializing in church roof and steeple restoration, preserving sacred spaces across the region.

He was extraordinarily creative, particularly when it came to architectural design.

Clark had a gift for building beautiful homes that blended seamlessly with nature, expertly utilizing natural materials and mastering the art of rustic elegance. Clark’s legacy of creativity, craftsmanship, and appreciation for the arts lives on.
