Clem York, 78, of Spicewood, Texas, passed away Saturday, May 4, 2013 with his family surrounding him in love.
Clem was born March 12, 1935 in Los Angeles, California. For the past 58 years he was a loving and caring husband to Sharon York.

He spent 20 happy years there where he enjoyed the lake, laughed and played with the family on the pontoon boat. Clem was such a hard-working man for not only his family, but many others around him. He was always willing to lend a hand and will truly be missed.

Good man to many people. Saw Clem before I retired in 2006. He was happy and I hoped to enjoy mine also like the lake and the elcamino & Cad engine. I admired Clem.
