His wife, Dorothy, preceded him in death on December 24, 2003. In addition to his wife and parents, he was also preceded in death by a brother and sister. He is survived by a son, Donald L. Clem, J. and daughter, Barbara S. Meyer, both of Fort Myers, FL.
He was a retired postmaster from Harrod, Ohio. After moving to Fort Myers, he volunteered for 26 years with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. His wife, Dorothy, was right along his side until her death. During that time, they provided a multitude of services, from fingerprinting children to directing traffic. He retired from there at the age of 99. He loved every minute of that experience.
Prior to Lima, he lived in Alexandria, Ohio, where he owned a hardware store and served as a volunteer fireman. He was a very large part of that community.
Service will be Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. with visitation at 10:30 at Coral Ridge Funeral Home in Cape Coral, Florida.
