He was preceded in death by his first wife; Mildred Kolb and his brother; Florian

two sons: Ted and Peter Hall and his brother: Fred Reinhardt.
He and Georgie retired to Florida in 1985 where he played golf, enjoyed square
dancing and bridge, and took sunset walks on the beach.
Clem was a loving husband and a wonderful father and role model for his children.
He left this world the way he lived it-with honor, dignity, style, and grace. He
will be missed by those who knew him.
