Précédé par ses parents, Edmond Clément et Adrienne (née Bourdeau), et 1 soeur, Irène Godard (Conrad) et 1 fils, Roger (Diane). M. Clément, récipiendaire de la Légion d’honneur de la France, était ancien combattant du jour J de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, débarquant sur la plage Juno à Bernières-sur-Mer en tant que membre du régiment des Fusiliers de Sherbrooke - le 27e régiment blindé - faisant partie de la grande flottille d'invasion.
Comme il est typique de sa génération, il a sacrifié d'innombrables plaisirs personnels pour que nous ayons ce que nous avons aujourd'hui, il sera toujours un héros pour son pays, plus encore pour sa famille, et vivra dans le cœur de plusieurs, un grand mais humble homme.
