Soon thereafter, Chris began 12 announcing Providence College Basketball games on radio and television and became a beloved 13 figure in Rhode Island. Chris was the Providence College Basketball announcer during the 14 halcyon era of the sixties and seventies when Providence College Basketball won the NIT in 1961 15 and 1963, went to the Final Four in 1973, and was the dominant program in New England led by 16 coaches Joe Mullaney and Dave Gavitt, and star players like Lenny Wilkens, Jimmy Walker, 17 Ernie DiGregorio, Marvin Barnes, Kevin Stacom and Joe Hassett; and 18 WHEREAS, Chris Clark did more than just announce Providence College Basketball 19 games. He announced URI, Brown and Harvard Football games, Pawtucket Red Sox Baseball 1 games and the America's Cup Races. Chris was highly respected by his peers and was named 2 Sportscaster of the Year in Rhode Island for 17 years by the National Sportscasters and 3 Sportswriters Association. In addition, Chris is an inductee of the New England Basketball Hall 4 of Fame, the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame, and the North Providence Sports Hall of Fame; 5 and 6 WHEREAS, Chris was the beloved husband of Leonore Clark and leaves five children, 7 Jeffrey L. Clark, Donald K. Clark, North Providence Fire Battalion Chief, John R. Clark, also of 8 North Providence, Robert A. Clark and Catherine E. Neville, and eight grandchildren. Chris was 9 the father of the late Christian B. Clark, Jr.; now, therefore be it 10 RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations 11 hereby expresses its deepest sympathies to the Clark family on the passing of Chris Clark, and 12 thanks him for all the fond memories he gave to Rhode Islanders as the sports announcer for 13 Providence College Friars Basketball; and be it further 14 RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and he is hereby authorized and directed to 15 transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Mrs. Leonore Clark. ======= LC03202 ======= 2 .
