My sincere condolences to Geneva, Cheryl, Tammy and the rest of Clem’s Family.

He was one of the good guys! He and I did business together for 30 years starting out in the old St Theresa building.

Thank You Clem for your patronage but more importantly for your friendship!

RIP

To all of Clem's family,

We were clients of Clem's over his many years in Port Hawkesbury, and he was definitely the kind of businessman we wish all the others would be. He was kind and courteous and always helpful. Kevin enjoyed many a smelt that Clem so generously gave to him, and they had great conversations. We have missed him at the business since he retired but he is someone you don't forget. May he rest now in the loving arms of Our Lord having been a good and faithful servant.

Our sympathies to all.

Kevin and Therese MacDonald

I started doing business with Clem when he was located in the old St. Theresa school in Port Hawkesbury and dealt with him until he retired, which was a long time. Clem was such a good person to deal with, not only was he good at what he did but he really cared about his customers. He always had a smile on his face and a pleasant word. I"ll always think of him that way. My condolences to the his family and best wishes. I regret not being able to attend his service, but my thoughts are with you all.

Geneve, Cheryl, Tammy and Brendan, Our sincere sympathy to everyone. Clemmie suffered a long battle and I know how hard it is to watch your love one go through this. He was such a kind gentle soul and is now in Gods arms. I will always remember when our little dog ate the bottom of his pants and he never said a word. We all had a good laugh. You know we would be there to support you and be with our family in a flash, but we know with just your immediate family you will have your limit, but know our heart is with all of you.
