Clarke was a leader in the EOD community. His experience in Mine Counter Measures (MCM) is lost to the newest generations, sadly. He starred in EOD recruiting films - astride the old Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC), LOL!!! For us younger fellas, he laid the ground for future tactics. He was one of the good ones! I spent time with him in his latter days...enjoyed barbeque at his house, laughed with him and Margaret, quaffed a beer on occasion. I rode motorcycles with him and always enjoyed his quiet, sardonic humor. I remember him occasionally pulling me aside to make some joke on something we had just experienced. He was a genuinely caring person. I will miss him terribly! I won't say that difficulties in life are sad for Clarke met challenge head-on and he surmounted!! He is an inspiration and should be remembered as such. Carry on Brother!! We Remember.
