I first met Bob Clarkin at a reunion for PT 195 held at my house. in 1992 He served with my dad (Gil deMarrais - who died in 1981). The first thing Bob said to me was "I loved your father", a 4 word sentence that best describes the bond that PT Boaters have for each other. My condolences to his wife Alice. Bob Clarkin will be missed by all those that loved him, including myself.
