Clem was a good friend and a valuable member of the Congregational Church of Laconia, UCC while living in Gilford. The small Christmas tree that I bough from him just after building our new Gilford house in 1985 now towers over anything near it! Ruth, I am sure that you treasure your many years with Clem and Jean and I offer our prayers for your comfort and out of thanks for a life well lived.

Enjoyed many wonderful childhood times with the Lyon family on Loudon Road. Clem's garden, ice rink, front yard Christmas tree sales and trips to the dump are among my greatest memories. If we three Lewis kids weren't in our backyard, we were at Ruth and Clem's. Will be praying for you all.... Barry & Marie Lewis

So sorry to hear, but what a wonderful life! Please know that all of the Martin (Bud) and Martha (Martie) Colburn offspring are thinking of you at this time. Clem was best man at their wedding in 1946 (if I recall correctly) and they were so happy to be reunited with Clem and Ruthie in Gilford after the early days in New Boston.

Uncle Clem with Judy (me) in New Boston, NH in 1943....he brought me the Navy and it became the occasion for a picture out on the back stoop. When Uncle Clem went into the Navy he had a full head of hair as you can see here. He served in the Pacific on a destroyer and came back alive but without the hair. What a great treat to be his niece.

Uncle Clem meant so much more than most of us could ever express. His pure joy of living was infectious and his endless interest in everything and everyone impacted all who knew him. He was and remains one of a kind and he will be missed by all of us who had the honor to be part of his life. My younger sister Peggy and I were part of his wedding to Aunt Ruth all those many years ago. What a pair they made and what a life they have lived. He will live on in all of our memories and more stories than I can count. Sending love to all....Judy
