Bossier City, LA - Clement J. Bartch, 78, passed away after a lengthy illness on Monday, September 5, 2011, in Bossier City, LA. Clement was born in Red Rock, TX on March 20, 1933 to Joe and Rosa Bartsch. He loved to garden, cook and he especially enjoyed baking. But the thing he loved the most was spending time with his family. He was intelligent, witty and one of the most selfless men you could have ever known. He served our country in the USAF where he earned many awards and commendations, including the Joint Service Commendation Medal. After 20 years of service, including two tours in Vietnam, he retired and began a new career with the U.S. Postal Service until his retirement in 2003.
