May 18, 2022 By Eastwick Press

Pittstown – Clark D. Edelmann, 73, a longtime resident of Pittstown, died peacefully in the comfort of his home Thursday, May 12, 2022.

Born in Honesdale, PA, November 7, 1948, Clark is the son of the late Frederick and Norma (Milligan) Edelmann, and husband for over 53 years of Mary A. (Borter) Edelmann of Pittstown, who survives. 

Clark was a graduate of Tamarac High School in 1966. Throughout high school he competed on the wrestling team. Later he became a force to be reckoned with on the arm wrestling table, competing in, and winning, several tournaments.   

Clark was employed right out of high school by the former Matzen Construction Inc. in Raymertown. During his 40 plus years of service at Matzen’s he was held in high regard with his coworkers and held the title of foreman for many years. Clark was well rounded in the construction field, but as time went on, his specialty became erecting large steel buildings.   [Read more…] about Clark D. Edelmann
