Alan was born January 16, 1939 in Greenfield, California, son of the late Almond Paul Clement and Evelyn Oleta Brazwell. He worked many different jobs, but spent the majority of his employment as a woodworker and cabinet maker. Alan faithfully served his country in the United States Navy for 13 years, earning the rank of Petty Officer First Class (E6). He loved to tinker and work on anything automotive or motorcycle related. He enjoyed watching the show "How Things are Made" and DIY shows, learning about car building and restorative techniques. He liked motorcycles, Formula 1 auto racing and Top Fuel drag racing. Alan was a great cook and enjoyed making (and eating!) meals with his family, and had a particular "passion" for tomatoes - Campari being his favorite.
He is survived by two sons, Samuel (Sylvia) Clement of Greencastle, PA and Kevin (Charles) Clement of Virginia Beach, VA; one daughter, Wenda (Frank) Cooper of Summerville, SC; daughter-in-law Marsha Clement; step children, Michael McCarthy, Kelly Black; grandchildren, Robert Alan Clement, III, Stephen Lee (Amna) Clement, Samuel Joshua Clement, Danielle Desiree Cooper, Michael Avery Clement, Sarah Anna Clement, Sean Eric Clement, Tiffany Amber (Enrique) Negrete and granddaughter-in-law Jessica Clement; nine great-grandchildren; four step grandchildren; siblings, Ray Clement, Fay Anderson, Jane Sanders, Orba Nasvall, Linda Halliday and half sisters, Georgie Shipley and Jewel Clement as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
