Dear Doris and Laura,
Our thoughts are with you in your time of grief! May he rest in peace. He was a good coach and a fun person to have played softball for, but most of all he was a great guy and a wonderful person to have known.

Doris,
I am so sorry for your lose. Clem was a great man, and I am lucky that I was able to get to home him as well as I did. PJ’s will never be the same, and I will always miss joking around with him. He always joked around with me and said "You have no respect for your elders" But to be honest, I have so much respect for you both. Clem is a man that I will never forget, and I miss him very much. God Bless
