OBITUARIES

Andy Clark Died November 7, 2022

Andy Clark, owner of Moxie Bread Company, died on November 7. He was 46. He is survived by his wife Phillippa (Pippa) and their three boys.

Family, friends, co-workers and others are morning his sudden and untimely death. Andy Clark is well known for being the Chief Executive and owner, along with his wife, of the Moxie Bread Company chain of bakeries, which specializes in artisan breads, specialty muffins and sweet rolls, and even soups and sandwiches along with some ready-to-cook-orbake dishes. Clark launched his first small bakery and cafe at 641 Main St. in Louisville in 2015 after a career at Whole Foods and Izzio Bakery. Moxie gained popularity immediately and soon gained a reputation as one of the best bakeries in the state, receiving a James Beard award nomination in 2018. The bakery expanded in 2020 opening up a shop in Boulder and a third bakery in Lyons last year.

Andy Clark’s impact on each community was immediate as his bakeries have become gathering places for friends and neighbors to meet for coffee and pastries or for lunch of soup and sandwiches. Friends and associates gathered at the Moxie Bread Company Louisville, leaving flowers and mementoes, offering condolences.

Andy Clark’s philanthropic work is well known in the communities where he had his bakery. Right after the Marshall fire in Louisville, he started up his mobile oven and handed out free pizza to families that were impacted by the fire. During COVID, Caleb Dickinson, a city councilman, said Clark was making full meals for customers to pick up, and he applied for a loan so he could continue paying his employees.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help support Andy Clark’s wife Pippa and his children. The page is at https://www.gofundme.com/f/b6eku6-andys-family. No date for a funeral or memorial had been set at press time.

Walter Kinderman Died December 3, 2022

Walter Kinderman passed away on December 3 at a hospice facility in Longmont. Kinderman was the editor and publisher of the Lyons Recorder, a weekly newspaper that was originally started over 100 years ago. Throughout its history, the newspaper was called The New Lyons Recorder, The Old Lyons Recorder and Lyons Recorder. Later he also owned and published the Berthoud Recorder.

Prior to owning the Lyons Recorder, Kinderman worked at a publication on Colorado Congressional issues called The Colorado Statesman in Denver.

Kinderman was still publishing the Lyons Recorder when the Redstone Review came out in 2000 and continued to publish the Recorder newspaper for a year or two after the Redstone was in print, until he eventually sold the paper and his Main Street office in Lyons. He sold the paper to a newspaper group out of Wyoming. After that it migrated though a long string of owners and in 2019 it went out of print and went on to become a digital publication.

Kinderman and his first wife Joan had three children, John, Brian and Walter. He later married Patti Padilla and the two of them ran the Lyons Recorder together.

He, along with other Lyons residents, fought the Coffin Top Dam proposal. He often disagreed with various town mayors and town administrators and expressed strong views in the Lyons Recorder. He also ran for mayor of Lyons in 2008 and was defeated.

No memorial services had been planned by press time.

Are you a fan of Geraldine Brooks or Fredrich Backman? Did your book club recently read Lessons in Chemistry or The Beauty in Breaking? Did you happen to miss the live Q & A sessions with those authors earlier this month? The Lyons Community Library is now showcasing a live, virtual author talk series featuring bestselling, award-winning, and highly acclaimed authors and thought leaders from around the world and covering a wide range of fiction and nonfiction genres. These free live events take place two or three times a month and include time for Q & A. A complete list of events is available on our website under the Programming tab. Don’t miss Margaret M. Cho and Cassandra Clare coming soon. The new year is a great time to focus on your writing goals. Our monthly Word Wednesday program, facilitated by Kayann Short, Ph.D., is a wonderful opportunity to meet other writers and share writing projects in a supportive environment. Word Wednesday meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. and is open to all genres and levels of writers. The next installment will take place on January 4. The new year is also a great time to focus on giving back to one’s community. Area teens and tweens are invited to save the date of Thursday, January 12 for a Day of Service project to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy. This project, a hands-on donation to a local

charitable organization, will stand in place of the regularly scheduled TAG meeting and more details will follow.
