Dear Editor,
Our community lost a very special citizen with the passing of Andrew Clarkson. I will miss him as a professional inspiration as well as a unique colleague and mentor to me in my role as the Executive Director of New Canaan Community Foundation.

Andrew was a true champion of philanthropy and challenged us all to do the most good for our community. He believed that we all have a role to play in nurturing our community resources and led by example. Andrew was generous with his time, talent, and treasure and has left an incredible charitable legacy. He was outspoken in his quest for excellence, and I will always cherish my conversations with him.
I send my deepest condolences to his family.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Gorey
