Robert E. Clarke '50


Just a note to tell you Bob Clarke died on November 18th last year. He had Alzheimer's Disease for many years and died a peaceful death. He left his wife of 52 years (Peg) and six children, four of whom graduated from Penn State. 

He resided for 35 years in Villanova, PA followed by seven years in St. Davids, PA and finally in Bryn Mawr. He died at Arden Courts, an Alzheimer's facility in King of Prussia. 

He was originally from Pittsburgh and following two stints in the Navy, moved to New York City for ten years before moving back to Pennsylvania.

For many years he spent two/three months in Naples, Florida where he always got together with Herb Wittman, Jack Storer, Bill Hanley, Joe Jackson and the late Bill Clark.

Thank you for your contact through the years. He always enjoyed catching up with doings at the house and the campus.
