Dear Mary Jane and Family, My deepest sympathy on the death of your beloved husband and father. It's been over 35 years but I still remember you and Clem when you lived on Craig Drive in Des Plaines. He was such a wonderful husband and father....always thinking of you and the children. I can only imagine how much he will be missed. Just know that his wonderful spirit will survive in those who loved him and we trust his next journey will be as wonderful as the first. My prayers go with you all. Sincerely, Joan Mudd

Dear Mary Jane and Family,
Our most since condolences on the loss of your beloved Clem. We went back a long way to our "kid years" on Iowa St and St Helen School.
We lived "across the alley" from the Kalamaras family and our mothers
were lady friends. My sister Geri Maximovich-Bieschke also sends her condolences and prayers. "R.I.P" CLEM..You were a fine man.
