Classmates at Illinois , served on NIRSA board together. I remember a fun shrimp boil at my home in Pensacola and serving together at management school. Miss him and his great humor.

Our sincere condolences to the Clements family. We were high school classmates in Raleigh, NC at Ligon High (1966). May he rest in heavenly peace.

Tony was a great man and a great first boss. Twenty five years into a professional career and I now realize how lucky I was to start under Tony at the U of I ('92-'97). I steal his comedy bits regularly when I help host our company picnic. I can hear him laughing now. God Bless.

Tony was a great guy! I knew him in college, he lived with me at Townsend hall. He also was a great reader at my wife's school during Black history month. He will be remembered by many as a friend and community leader.
