Robert Clare, ’50, Creighton University

Clare Bank

Platteville, Wisconsin

Bob has been in the banking business for 57 years. He owns Clare Bank, a fixture in Southwestern Wisconsin with eight branches. Though Bob has been on the UWP Foundation board for only 2 years, his commitment to the university couldn’t be stronger. He donated 30 acres of land to the university in 2003 for the new Swine Center at Pioneer Farm, and Clare Bank partnered with two other Platteville banks to provide loans to fund the facility. Bob enjoys farming himself, and owns a rural Platteville farm.
