On Monday, January 13, my wife and I attended the funeral for Clem. It was a beautiful service. During that time his granddaughter spoke and told of Clem being a Navy veteran. It was refreshing to hear because I too am a Navy veteran. From one "salt" to another, thank you for your service and rest in peace.
