June 20, 1924 — March 10, 2013
Robert “Bob” H. Clark, age 88, of Mooresville, IN, was taken to be with his Lord on Sunday, March 10, 2013, in Omro, WI at his daughter’s home.
Bob was born June 20, 1924, in Aurora, IL, the son of Beryl and Francis (Brownback) Clark. He graduated from West Aurora High School. Bob was a coxswain piloting a Higgins boat during WWII. He participated in the Pacific landings at Saipan, Tinian, Guam and Leyte Gult. He married Hazel Bourelle, his wife of 65 years on November 8, 1947. A devoted Christian, he was a loving husband and wonderful father. He enjoyed fishing, working with his hands and playing with his great grandchildren. A man who possessed a strong work ethic, he was always looking for things to do, even when his health did not allow. His quick wit and gentle smile were always evident in everything he did up to the end.
