By KEITH ROGERS
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Clarendon "Clare" Hetrick, one of the last seven USS Arizona survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack that launched the United States into World War II, died in a Las Vegas hospital Monday, his family said. He was 92.

"It's a great loss to us," his granddaughter, Stephanie Hetrick, of Las Vegas, said Thursday.

Clare Hetrick had planned to attend ceremonies for the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack at the sunken USS Arizona Memorial at Oahu, Hawaii.

"Come hell or high water, he was going to go," Stephanie Hetrick said. "Every year he was ready to go to the Arizona in Hawaii to honor his brothers who were lost."

 

[Captain O]

Father was there. He would have wanted to honor them. He had enough of both WW2 and the Korean War.

May God Bless these men and our forefathers; shipmates all. :angel:

Captain O (USN).

As the son of a sailor, let me say - Amen.

We are diminished.
