Robert Thomas Clements

Robert Thomas Clements (Bob) of Laurel passed away on June 2, 2023 at the age of 83, and is remembered with great love as a devoted husband, father, brother, friend and patriot.

Born on June 14, 1939, Bob grew up in Elmont, N.Y. and attended Sewanhaka High School before entering the U.S. Army. After serving his time, he established a memorable tenured career on Wall Street.

Bob’s big heart and generosity will be greatly missed by his beloved wife, Nina, of 60 years, his children Christopher (Beatrice) Clements, Jennifer Montanaro, Amy (Matt) Macaluso, his siblings Steven and Richard Clements and his 10 grandchildren, Alex, Christopher, Max, Jillian, Isabelle, Olivia, Anna, Macie, Charlie and Jack. He is predeceased by his brother John “Buddy” Clements and his daughter Jane Clements Webster.

Bob was a man with tremendous passion for his family, friends, faith and country. He opened his heart and his home to anyone in need. No job was ever too big for him; if he wasn’t on the golf course, he was off lending a hand at his favorite charity, Island Harvest, or in his shed working away at his next big project.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of Good Counsel R.C. Church in Mattituck, N.Y. on Tuesday, June 6 at 11 a.m.

DeFriest-Grattan Funeral Home in Mattituck is serving the family.

Memorial donations may be made to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
