In Loving Memory of Roland “Rolly” Joseph Clements, 98 years
The family announces with great sorrow his passing on, Monday, August 15th, 2022, at Health Sciences North, Sudbury. He leaves behind his wife Thérèse Clements (nee Bélanger) after 70 wonderful years of marriage. Proud and loving father of Camille Clements-Pitchkur (George Pitchkur) and Elyse Clements (Kari Viippola). Predeceased by his parents Louis and Regina (nee Desrochers) Clements. Dear brother of Rena Jelenic (husband Milan, “Mike”) both predeceased, Marcel Clements predeceased (wife Shirley) and Maureen Hannah (husband Roy). He will be sadly missed by his nieces and nephews. A special thanks to those who would drop off food care packages for the aging love birds.
Roland was born in Ottawa and lived in various cities in northern Ontario until his family finally settled in Sudbury. He had multiple careers over the years from retail sales, owning and operating a dry cleaner to real estate until he found his true career niche in the field of investments. This last venture commenced in the 1960’s and he pursued this passion until he was in his late 80’s. He loved interacting with people and was actively involved in many community organizations, as a member or as a volunteer not limited to The Knights of Columbus, ACT/UCT, and the Liberal Association. Roland and Thérèse loved wintering in Florida and did so for over 25 years which likely contributed to their long lifespan. Rolly’s favorite pastime was golf, a game he always hoped to master but mastered him. However, his most redeeming qualities were as an exceptionally giving husband who made caring for his wife a life priority and as an adoring father who was incredibly proud of his two daughters and their accomplishments. The family wish to extend a heartfelt Thank You to all the staff at HSN for their wonderful service and care. “My loving husband and our beloved father will be greatly missed”.
