I only met Mr Clements once at his daughter's Jeanne's home he was very sweet and expressed his pride and love for his family. May you find peace in The Lord at this time my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

My father was Norman Fehr and he was a friend of your father. My father passed away in January of this year and I saw your father at the funeral service. My father always spoke very highly of your father. I know that they spoke on the phone and had lunch together a few times in the months before my father passed away. Our fathers had a lot in common; both owned their own landscape business and both had loving families. Our family is very sorry for your loss.

You can fly amongst the stars now, Charlie, with no physical constraints to hold you back. It's time to relax and bask in all the pleasures you have brought to so many. My friend and confidant, you remain in my heart and will always be in my prayers.

To the Clements family, I hope you find peace and solace in knowing how much love and pride he had for each and every one of you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Although I did not know him, I have been close friends with his son Charlie for years, so I know he must have been a very good man because of the way Charlie is. I know he is one of the brightest stars shining in the sky and he will be with you all always in everything you say and do.
