    My brother Dick was a “Superman” who meant the world to so many people, the least of those myself, my husband and our family. Dick was 6 years old when I was born and a friend, brother, employer during our lives. Mom and Dad were so proud of you, Dick, as Johnny, Gerry, Bill, Joe, myself and Carol Jeanne. You are with all of them at “home”, so save a place for me at the table. Mary Ann, you know how we love and treasure you with your unending love and care for Dick.. Rich, Mary Beth, Katie, Danny, the pattern and path has been set and he loved you so much on his journey back home,
    God bless us all. Love Terri, Mike and family

    I first met Dr. Clemens when I was just a boy. Mid-to-late 1950s, I think. Doc was probably barely out of residency but he made a late evening house call to my parents home and treated my brother and I for some illness or another. He remained our family doctor until he retired. ,My parents became personal friends with Doc and Mary Ann and our families spent leisure time together.
    My four brothers and I enjoyed many memorable adventures at the Clemens lake cabin near Louisville.
    Kind and sincere, Doc always went out of his way to help in any way he could. I especially remember a letter he sent to me when I was in Viet Nam in the early 70’s. It was heartfelt and encouraging and just what I needed at the time.
    He had a very positive influence on me and I was lucky to know him.
    Mary Ann, Rich, Mary Beth, Danny and Katie you have my most sincere condolences. God Bless you all.

    My dearest friend, Dick Clemens.
    Knowing you and your wonderful wife Mary Ann and your friendship has given me a life I had never even hoped for.
    You will never be gone. I will love you as long as I draw breath.
