Having grown up in Bayport where nicknames were a tradition, Robert would be able to recollect the nicknames of everyone who lived there. He continued that tradition by giving everyone in his family multiple nicknames. He always had a sharp memory and quick-wittedness about him.

He was an avid collector of stamps, coins, and sports memorabilia. He loved coffee, cookies, donuts, Western movies, and dark humor. He enjoyed road trips traveling to museums and historic sites. In his free time, Bob enjoyed archery, motorcycles, and baseball games. Like his father Keith, Bob loved birdwatching and was eagerly awaiting another hummingbird season and for the marigolds to bloom. He was a sharp dresser and loved new sneakers, dress shoes, watches, and hats. Over the years, he attended many concerts with his children and siblings. He loved classic rock, blues, country, bluegrass and even became a classical music lover more recently.

He had a loving and protective nature toward his children and was an incredibly fun and caring grandpa. There were many Clements gatherings with him, his siblings and the entire family that were always filled with laughter and many jokes. Many will deeply miss him.

Robert is preceded in death by parents, Keith and Mary.

He is survived by his children, Stacey (Rico), Ryan (Alicia), and Lindsay (Anthony); grandchildren, Anthony and Isaac; siblings, Ross (Pam), Peter (Sara), and Lisa; former wife, Joanne; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
