Paul Bottis Death | Obituary – Former longtime director of Physical Plant (now Facilities Management) Paul Bottis sadly passed away at age 84. Our deepest condolence to the family and friends of Paul Bottis.
September 14, 2012, was sunny and warm, a gorgeous late-summer day on the Clark campus. For Paul Bottis ’84, it was even more than beautiful. It was perfect.
On that day, President David Angel officially dedicated the closed section of Downing Street, from Florence to Woodland Street, as a pedestrian plaza in honor of donors William ’76 and Jane ’75 Mosakowski. The Downing transformation was the capper of Bottis’ 35-year Clark career, a project whose completion allowed him to ease into retirement in December with a sense of satisfaction and finality.
That’s not a familiar state for Bottis, who as director of Physical Plant worked tirelessly to expand and beautify a campus that at one time would have been considered a liability but is now a clear asset. In his worldview, Clark is a living, breathing organism that benefits from positive change in both its outward appearance and the guts of its infrastructure.
May his soul rest in peace
