ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The body of a soldier from New York who died in Afghanistan after collapsing during a Skype video chat with his wife was greeted on the tarmac of Greater Rochester International Airport on Saturday by scores of people, many of whom waved flags or saluted as his hearse rolled past.

Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark, 43, was an Army nurse from Spencerport who had attended The College at Brockport.

"He really was one of the best students I ever taught," said Margie Lovett-Scott, one of his nursing professors. "The younger students always migrated toward Bruce. He was a natural leader, a student leader right from the start. If I was not available, they went to Bruce."
