Art Enos passed away this past summer on June 16th in Burlington Massachusetts. He was 84. He purchased a tract of land on Sennett Road in Jefferson in 1989 and built a summer home there where he lived part time until he sold it in 2020. His passing went largely unnoticed here on and around Clary Lake which is rather surprising given his involvement with the Clary Lake Association and his influence on Clary Lake and lake events over the years. I only learned of his passing a few days ago when visiting my friend David Marsh who bought Art’s home. Everyone I’ve told about Art’s passing so far has been unaware he had died.
Art played a major role in the Clary Lake Association over the years, first serving as Vice President in 1992 and then as President from 1993 through 1999. In early 1995 he was instrumental in bringing about the incorporation of the Clary Lake Association as a 501 c(3) nonprofit organization.
Art bought the Clary Lake dam from Chester Chase in 1995 with the original intention of selling it to the Association but despite lengthy negotiations to that end, that sought after event never came about. Instead he sold the dam to another party in 2006 and it wasn’t until 2018 after 12 arduous and contentious years that the Association was finally able to purchase the dam.
