Sad to hear of Dr. Clemons death. He was our family doctor and I enjoyed singing in church choir with him. His daughter, Pam, was my classmate. He was a great guy!

Dr Clemons was our family Dr for over 20 years. I always felt at ease with him and was thankful he chose to practice in our little town.

My mother worked with Dr. Tom for years and I was fotunate enough to have him for physcian myself. I will never forget his "bedside" manner! He always had a joke and a story for "our" enjoyment whenever I was in his care. A truly caring and devoted person,he will be surely missed by those who knew him. My thougths and prayers are with his loved ones. May you find peace knowing he gave so much and took so little. God Bless.

It is my pleasure to have known the Clemons family over many years as cousin to Martie and Scott. My parents, Bill and Margaret Hruza, took my sisters and myself to Livingston starting at an early age to see my grandparents. Our visits always included visiting that "fun" house, namely the Clemons' home. Dr. Tom made us laugh along with the whole family. I will not soon forget that wonderful man. My heartfelt sympathies to Barney, Scott and Martie

I'm very saddened to hear to Tom's passing. He was my doctor for many years and even when I moved away for 20 years or so and then moved back he took me back as a patient immediately. But even more importantly, Barney and your whole family have been friends with mine for my whole life, and I will remember you all in my prayers. God bless,

Dr. Clemons was my doctor when we first moved to Livingston in 1975. He was thoughtful, caring, and a great doctor. I enjoyed visiting with him at Highgate this fall. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

January 31, 2013

My sincerest condolences to the Clemons family. Dr. Tom delivered me in 1947 at the Yellowstone Park Hospital in Mammoth and remained a lifelong friend of my parents, Aubrey and Wilma Haines. They are all sharing jokes now in a better place. May God bless you, Dr. Tom

He was a wonderful doctor and man. He delivered my two daughters and made many house calls when they were sick. He made sure that he signed their baby books. He was the best family doctor ever. The world was a better place for him having been here.

Family of Tom Clemons,

Patti, my wife, was always talking of how
much she like Dr Clemons. When we saw them walking in the Gallatin Mall we all aways spoke. He always advanced my on rank higher than my retired. There was quiet a story about he and Dr Basket always pulling tricks in the Clinic. One was that one time they saw Mrs Fish go into the ladies room. They waited a couple minutes and then went to that door, each took a big fire crout of his jacket, put a match to the fuse, opened the door and tossed the fire crackers into the room. Boom and Mrs Fish screamed and ran out of the room. They knew better and were in another room shen she came out.

The doctor is and will be greatly missed!

Dear family of Tom Clemons,

Please accept the condolences of one of many whom the good doctor helped into this world.

I remember his look, his beautiful hands, and what seemed to be unlimited curiosity and wonder. When one encountered him, he had an earnest, open gaze as though seeing you was the high point of his day. He always had time to visit. Very thoughtful. It is so odd that about three days before reading of his passing, out of the blue I began to wonder where he was. I was hoping to interview him for the book I am writing. What a wonderful man, you must miss him badly, and I send you my condolences.

Dr Clemons always had a fantastic sense of humor. Dr. Clemons related a story recently about finding where my Dad, Leonard Larson had hidden his car for a wedding honeymoon get away (1950), but Dr. Clemons & some others found it & decorated it anyway. Dr. Cleamons was my Doctor for years, giving me physicals to play football and for my career. My Mother played Bridge with Dr. Clemons wife Barnie for years, until they moved to Bozeman for their retirement years. We went over to Bozeman for several visits - with the Clemons - very nice & memorable. I have a Dr. Clemons painting of crittters of Montana on a State Map Background. My Mother has a Clemons painting of the Sacajawea Park Bridge in Livingston.

Barney, Scott, and Mardie...Who could possibly forget Tom Clemons! What a gracious, wonderful man he was. It's been many years since I've seen him, or any of you, but you all, are remembered and missed. Our deepest sympathies and prayers for you all at this time.

Dr. Clemons was a big part of our lives when we were young. As our family doctor and neighbor. He helped me out when I needed him. Our thoughts are with his family. RIP

Dr. Clemons delivered me, and continued to be my primary physician through high school. He made house calls when that was still considered something normal for a general practioner to do. I will never forget his compassion, competence and humor. I totally trusted Dr. Clemons' care and judgement when I needed his service. He was not just a good man, he was a great man and Livingston was the richer to have him during his time healing our community.

January 28, 2013

Dr Tom was the greatest!!! I moved to livingston in 1967, and he was my Dr. till he retired. He was always able to put you at ease while working on you I remember one time he and Dr Baskett were operating on me and Tom said "oops" and then they both started laughing and so did I , He had me going there for a minute!!! He was a great Dr and a great man He will be missed.

Dr. Clemons was my mothers's doctor. When she made a comment about the young doctors, he said, Rose, they know more than me as they had recent training. I remember him as very handsome and nice.

January 28, 2013

Dr. Clemons was my doctor for many years also delivered three of my children . When we moved to Bozeman one of the things I missed was my Doctor! I have run into him a few times and always enjoyed a short visit with him! He was a very special person. My thoughts and prayers with his family's at this difficult time.

The summer I graduated from high school, I rolled a John Deere tractor with hay rake on a mountainside at the Rigler Ranch near Pray. After they untangled me from the wreckage and took me by ambulance to the hospital, Dr. Clemons took over in the absence of Dr. Pearson. My memory of his checking on me in the morning was: He walked into my hospital room while I was eating my oatmeal. He looked in the bowl and asked, "Are you gonna eat that stuff?" When I said I was, he said, "It looks like somebody beat you to it!" And that was only the beginning of his humorous approach to healing my injuries. He made getting hurt a lot more fun!

My heart is "heavy" with your loss. I wish I would have gotten to know your father better- I was always a little afraid of him (it may have been due to my fondness for you, Pam). I did not realize he was such a wonderful artist, among his many talents. . . my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Marty,Scott,and Barnie: Although I know he was very old, I share in your loss of your wonderful Dad and Husband. He was my physician for many years and also my friend. He was the warmest, most caring man I have ever known and not afraid to stand up for his patients against the medical establishment when necessary. Your sister, Pam, was also my friend and I know that Tom and her are having a joyful reunion now. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and especially for Barnie who must go ahead without him when she needs him the most. I will continue to pray for her.

I always admired Dr. Clemons for his intellect, creativity, and sense of humor. All of us connected to the Park Clinic were a family and Tom was one of the leaders of the pack. He now joins Dr. Lueck, Dr. Pearson, my mother and others from the family who have departed to continue to enjoy each other's company in Heaven. He will be missed. Our sympathies to Martie, Scott, Barnie and the rest of the Clemons family!

I remember going to Dr. Clemons whenI was about 11yrs old and he was teaching me German. A great man and Dr. with a great sense of humor. Deanna Egeland
