Obituary of Clements Louis Martin
Martin, Clements Louis
In the silence of the early morning on Saturday, March 20, 2021 the first day of spring, God called a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather home. Clem passed away at Jessica's House, Exeter at the age of 83 years. Our hearts are filled with grief but we find comfort knowing he is with our Heavenly Father and at peace.
Clem was born August 2, 1937 in Walkerton, Ontario, the son of Marion and Louis Martin. He is survived by his beloved soulmate of 62 years Lillian (Kresse) Martin of Bayfield. Their lives are forever intertwined by family and faith.
In 1969 Clem’s passion for building led him to create his own contracting business. Throughout his career he worked tirelessly to fulfill many family dreams. His success in business was only second to the pride and joy that he had for his family.
Clem is forever the cherished father of Rose and Rick Thoman of Elmira, Theresa and Pete Floto of Elmira, Christina Magwood and Dave Nufer of Collingwood, Angela and Derek Mercey of Oakville, Steve and Tracy Martin of Elmira, Julia and Greg Brubacher of Elmira.
