My condolences to Karyn, Michael and the whole family
Clem has been a friend and a ex-brother-in-law for a long time. We had many good times in the day. He will be missed greatly!
Ellen & Bobby, I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I was able to see Clem when he and I were both at Karyn & Jamie’s at the same time. He seemed to be enjoying retirement and his recent travel to Ireland. We are very grateful for that. He will be missed by many. Lori
Michael & Karyn, my heart breaks for you both. Your Dad & I only spoke a few times a year but he was visibly proud of both of you. He seemed very contented in knowing that you had grown into such caring and capable adults. He enjoyed spending time at each of your homes, and loved watching the boys’ sporting events. Know that he will always be in your hearts, and someday you will smile again when you think of him.
Love, Mom.
Dear Ellen & Bob,
Sorry for your loss. Logia informed me and wants me to send her condolences to you. I was good to see all three of you at Dana’s memorial service. We will see you this Friday to honor Clem.
God Bless.
