StephenCLARKof Foxhill Terrace, Oswaldtwistle, passed away peacefully in the Royal Preston Hospital, on Sunday, November 27, aged 61 years. Stephen had lived in Oswaldtwistle the whole of his life. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. He was one of a kind, friendly, dependable and helpful with a quick, dry sense of humour. Oswaldtwistle has lost one of its best. Much loved dad of Arty, dear brother of Tony and Tricia, brother-in-law of Kath and Bob, uncle to Rachel, Debbie and Bethany, dearly loved partner of Mary and also great uncle to Edie, Summer and Hattie. Earlier in his life he worked at Cocker Chemicals and William Blythe. He was employed as a technologist at Carlson Filtration in Barnoldswick, a job which he enjoyed. Stephen had many interests including football, growing vegetables on his allotment and DIY. He worked on the sets and backstage for Oswaldwistle Players and he was a pub quiz team member, but his greatest passion was walking, particularly over the Moors. He was a member of the Long Distance Walkers Association, and had just completed a 100 mile walk in May. His worldwide walking adventures took him to Iceland, New Zealand and Peru. The funeral will be held on Thursday, December 8 at 10.30am at St Paul’s Church, Oswaldtwisle, conducted by FR. Paul Payton, followed by a cremation at Accrington Crematorium at 11.40am. All welcome after at Oswaldtwistle Conservative Club. Family flowers only please but donations if desired to North West Air Ambulance or MND c/o Hyndburn Funeral Services, Queens Road, Accrington.
