To Clem’s Family I offer my deepest sympathy at his passing, which comes as a complete shock. Clem was just the best neighbor on Two Rivers. I will miss the conversations we had whether over a plate of cookies or sitting on his golf cart visiting. He was just the nicest guy who had a huge pride for his family and wasn’t afraid to say it. He dealt with his medical situation without complaint and just kept foraging ahead in spite of the road blocks and this always impressed me immensely. I will miss my friend more than I can even say and so will my family, who always asked me on each visit if I had seen Clem and how he was doing. I wish so much that I could be with your family for his celebration of life but that is just not possible. However I will be with you in thought, prayer and spirit and will ask that God always Bless the Jonas Family. Rest in peace Mr. Clem.
