Dear Mrs. Clemens, Mary and Ann, I was very sad to hear of your husband and dad's passing. I was a classmate of Ann's at PHS Class of 1979. One of my fondest memories of your Dad, was the day in Boston that we watched the movie "Animal House" with him. Love, Kathy O'Brien-Galins

Dear Clemens family,
I am very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We grew up with "The Runaway" print framed in our house, and my father was a state trooper who worked with Dick (my dad was Det. Lt. Ed Smith). Thinking of you in this sad time,
Dawn Smith (daughter of Det. Lt. Ed Smith)
