Mick was a good friend. He taught me how to golf. I am very sad to see him pass. I hope his journey now will be smooth and peaceful. My sympathies go out to all who love him.

I am so sorry for your loss Cathy and Jake, Mick was the greatest mentor and coach for me in the seventies. Like a loving big brother, he took me golfing at least 125 times from 1974 to 1977 and prior to that, he and the other big guys at The Key pounded me into being a good basket ball player at SH.
Mary and my whole family loved Mick Clement.

Emerson described Success this way

What is success?
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one´s self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Mick, Uncle Mick, Dad, husband, brother (in-law), friend and so much more to so many is a man who lived a very successful life!

Mick, you were truly an all-in-one - an extension of a beautiful friendship and a guaranteed laugh for me, all thanks to your wonderful wife, my work colleague and dear friend, Cathy. You respected the sacred sanctuary of `girl time´ without guidance but jumped in naturally at the perfect timing as the enrichment component. Classic & Wonderful Mick.

You made our darling Cathy sparkle - embracing everything that mattered to her. She adored your independence/dependence balance, your gallant gentleman care, the lovely gardens you created & manicured; and you did it with humor, heart, and enthusiasm. The pride you had in Jake - wow. The deep & genuine friendship you two shared was heartwarming, special, and something that will always make people smile inside & out. Thanks for the laughs, the love, and the joy you brought into this world and my heart. Such rich life investments that will be forever & always in our heads & our hearts.
