Dear Clements family,Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our deepest sympathy.Annamaria Legge and family

My heart goes out to the dear Clements family on the unexpected passing of Robert. Learning of this sad event evokes also profound memories of wonderful daughter/sister Susan, who was my student and student assistant so many years ago at Notre Dame. May our dear Lord remain present to you all in his abundant peace.

Dr Clements (he insisted I call him Mr Clements though) was my mentor teacher when I did my student teaching many years ago. He was a kind and dedicated teacher and mentor. Although I did not pursue a career in education, I took with me in life the many lessons he taught me about how to be a good human being. Condolences to his family.

Thought are with you Nancy and your family. Thinking of you!

Rest in Heaven, Mister Clements.
You were a great teacher and a very good mentor to me. I will always remember you with fondness. Thank you for your years of service to the community.

I always enjoyed talking with Bob but, sadly for me,we could rarely extend the conversation during lunch. He would meet the love of his life in the school parking lot. Mrs. Clements, whom he always comfortably expressed his affection and pronounce to me how fortunate he was to have such a wonderful bride, would share a lunch so they could be together during the school day. I observed Bob as a committed teacher and colleague. I can only imagine the wonderful husband, father, grandfather,...

I had Dr. Clements for French class at Central High School in the late 60s and have always remembered what a nice man he was.

Rest eternal grant unto Robert, Oh Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Mr. Clements was a Wonderful teacher!!! I remember a time where I was trying to sneak one by him, can't remember what, and he told me that you can't sneak one pass me, in sweet and funny way. He will be Missed!!!
My Thoughts and Prayers are sent that way to the Family Xoxox ♡♡♡♡♡
