After a swift decline in his health Clem passed away before sunrise on Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at the age of 90.

He joins his late wife Paulette (deceased 2006) and son Raymond (deceased 2018).

He leaves behind his son Paul (Dan), his daughter Lise (Robin) and his two grandchildren and spouses who he adored Chantale (Joe) and Jonathan (Melissa).

Clem was the only sibling of 9 who learned to speak English and left the Lac St Jean area of Québec. He worked in logging before joining the Canadian Air Force.

As an onboard electrician he was part of a team flying dignitaries around the world.

As time goes on, we discover more about this humble man.

Just recently a letter was discovered in his belongings.

It was addressed to Clément from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles thanking him for his participation in their Royal Visit to Canada in 1959!

After leaving the Air Force he worked as a service representative at a strapping company until his retirement.
