It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Raymond Francis Clements, surrounded by loved ones on April 8, 2019.
Raymond, age 65, was born on April 16, 1953, in Sydney to the late Wallace and Ina (Hamilton) Clements.
Raymond is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 49 years, Johann (Deveaux) Clements; sons, Francis (Rene) and Carl (Jennie); grandchildren, Sarah, Blake (Shera), Lauren and Carter; great-grandchildren, Steven, Alyson, Nathan, Emma, Austin and Danielle as well as his large extended family, including his brothers, sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents Raymond was predeceased by his son, Lawrence.
Raymond was a man of few words. He was a sweet gentle soul who loved his family with all of his heart. He was the type of man who would help anyone in need and do it without anyone knowing. Raymond worked at Conway Disposal for many years and in his free time, he mostly enjoyed fishing and spending time with his family. Raymond is at peace now and we take solace in knowing that he will be with his dearly beloved son, Lawrence.

Private family interment will take place at a later date.
