To the family of Joe Clements
While 98 years is remarkable in and of itself Joe made each of those years remarkable in his own way. I loved his joy of life and the gratitude he showed to each and everyone of us who entered his life. He taught me to be joyful even when chips were down. He was brilliant and thoughtful. He was a wonderful husband, father and cousin. I cherished my time with him. He really brought good things to life. What a man! What an example of how to live joyfully.
To his children, God bless each and every one of you because each of you gave him so much joy.
He leaves a legacy of love that is exemplary.
RIP dear Joe.
Watch over us, those you have left behind. May our lives reflect the joy you gave us so that we can give to ours and others.
I am so grateful that he shared part of his life and family with me.

My condolences to all family and friends, especially Joe Lee, Laurie, Kathleen and Paul. I am so sorry for your loss. 'Uncle Joe' is one of the coolest and most helpful person I have had the pleasure of knowing. I always learned something new from him when I saw him. His wit and sense of humor made being around him a treat. He will be missed and remembered by us all.
