Obituary of Winston G. Clarke

Winston George Clarke, affectionately known as "Rob/Sonny" at age 86 was granted his eternal wings on July 28, 2018, at the Inspira Medical Center in Vineland, NJ. Mr Clarke was born in Free Hill St Mary, Jamaica, to the late Simon Clarke and Lizadora McCracken.

He was the third youngest of 10 children. Mr. Clarke was an industrious, generous, virtuous, hardworking gentleman. He immigrated to the United States from Jamaica in the early 1950's. His employment varied from substitute crossing guard with the Vineland School District, concierge at Trump Tower, Atlantic City, to successful entrepreneur with his own business.

Mr. Clarke enjoyed gardening and being in the company of his family and friends. He loved the Lord and maintained his faith in God to the end. He was a faithful member of the Chestnut Assembly of God Church and his deep sultry voice garnered him a favored position in the choir.

Mr. Clarke was preceded in death by his second wife, Geraldine Pierce-Clarke; two sisters, Leila and Maude and brothers, Hector, Hasting, Harold and Sylburn Clarke.
