Another year has passed and I am still thinking of our Dear friend Peter. He will forever be in our thoughts, as a Dear person and Dear friend that was always so kind and thoughtful . MY Dear husband passed away just months ago and the pain cannot be explained in words of any kind. My life is empty without him near. After 40 years of marriage, two become one... That is so true.Our Lord will get you through Terry.
Blessings, Diana Abbott ...

Time has gone by and we lost a good and dear friend. I still miss chatting with Peter on his front lawn. He loved to read and he taught me a lot from what he read. I will never forget him. He was a special guy. I was his neighbor across the street. I think of his wife Terry also. Diana Abbott

Prof. Clement inspired a deep love of American Literature in me. He was also one of the kindest and most down to earth people I ever met. I still have my essays with his thoughtful comments and Frank Sinatra lyrics on them.

Our condolences to Terry, family and friends. My husband Jon and I just today 7/10/19 found out of Peters passing. We were neighbors across the street. I spent much time sitting on his lawn alongside him, chatting. We had wonderful chats ! I smile now because he loved my name Diana and he felt the need to look up Artimis and tell me all about what my name meant. He told me I had the exact name I had for a reason. He was a wonderful, sweet, and kind friend. The day we moved, I walked...

His passion for literature was infectious and I'm privileged for having learned from him. From Milton and Pope, to Keats and Byron, to Seinfeld and Costanza, his classes (and I enrolled in every one I could) were always engaging, entertaining, and enriching... I'll miss him dearly.
My most heartfelt condolences to his family. He was a great man, and a fantastic teacher.
