Paske.

At the age of 16, he moved to Sugar Land, Texas to live with his grandparents, the Ruckers, and to attend Sugar Land High School. At school, he played football and made many lifelong friends. He graduated in 1956.

Sugar Land became his hometown. He only left for College ( Texas State ) where he got a Bachelor's Degree and Masters in Education. Clem also served in the Army.

Returning home he worked for FBISD from 1962 through 1992. He taught history and RWS before becoming Vice Principal, and then Principal of Blueridge Elementary School. He fought to hire and keep good teachers, as he believed that they were essential to a good education.

His interests were wide and varied. He was a long time coin collector, avid reader, historian and lover of print media (He was in the press club at Texas State). Clem was an active member of the Jaycees, where he learned to run projects.

He became active in politics. He attended precinct meetings after the polls closed. He was elected to go to two state Democratic conventions as a delegate.

After retirement, Clem and his wife went on to many wonderful trips. He preferred basketball games, and worked for a casino party company as a craps dealer.

Clem became more active in the first United Methodist Church of Sugar Land. He attended Promise Keepers, Tuesday Morning Workers, and went on two "Habitat for Humanity" trips to Appalachia with the Youth Group. He and Kathleen went on a medical mission to Guatemala, where they worked in the pharmacy. Later Clem taught sunday school for two years.

He became active in the senior center. Clem loved all games. At the center, he played 42, Bridge, and sang karaoke and went to special events.

His greatest sorrow in life was losing his grandson and fishing partner. When Hayden came over, the first thing he said was, "Papaw, let's go fishing!".
