James Clementi

I still think about Jim so often -- the wonderful trips, the projects we worked together at MI, the slots we played, and the meals we shared. Our friendship was important to me, and I'll never forget him.

You are remembered so often.....just yesterday at our EPI Steering Committee Meeting at HCC we talked about teachers who teach vs teacher who educate. You were a teacher, you TAUGHT, my friend.

Have been thinking about Jim so much during the past week. What an awesome teacher, person and friend. He is so deeply missed. My hope is that he and my son, Mark, are visiting and are finding peace. My heart aches for the two of them - they were such gentle people. Mary Ann Ratliff

What a wonderful friend I have lost! Jim was a gentle man and a gentleman, loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him. We saw much of the world together, and it is sadly diminished without him.

My prayers go out to Mr. Clementi's family. He was my teacher at Orange Grove for 6th grade - my absolute favorite year of school. He was a terrific instructor and a good man. I ran into him several times over the many years since Orange Grove - he never forgot his students. Heaven received a very special angel.

He was a good man a loving member of our family. Jamie will be sorely missed and will remain in our hearts and memories.

-Our love Belinda and family.

Lorraine, the Clementi family and friends:

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May the wonderful memories of such a special person bring you comfort in all the days ahead.

Thank you Jim for being a wonderful mentor and friend to me during my first teaching position at old Jackson Heights and again later at Orange Grove. You were consistantly helpful,thoughtful, hardworking and creative. Of the all the great teachers I ever worked with you were the one I most admired.
My heart goes out to your family that you spoke of so fondly. You will live on in our memories until we meet again.

Jim Clementi was a class act at Measurement.....a professional to the end. He was kind and caring....a man who always had time for you even though you were interupting him for the millionth time.
Jim.....
I remember how I could use your ears
But won't remember you with tears.....
I'll remember you smiling and true
That is how I will remember you !
