I help out in the church office, and it was always a pleasure to see Clem come in doing one of his odd jobs for the church. He always had a smile and a few kind words for me and all he saw. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to the family. I am in Orange Beach, Alabama, for the winter and will not be able to attend the service.

Clem was the best person in the world to work for. I loved him like a father. He taught me so much about cars and life in general for which I will be forever thankful. Carla and family, you have my deepest sympathy for a man that will live long in my memory!

Our entire family offers sincere condolences to Carla, Bob, Tom, and the rest of the family over the loss their dear husband, father, and grandfather. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are currently out of town, visiting Katie in Knoxville and are unable to attend the Tuesday memorial service for our friend and neighbor. He was a good friend and we appreciate the times we had together with him. We each have many great memories of the old Nickels Drive family. May God's peace be with each of you in this time of loss.
With our love,
The Davis family
