Robert T Clement

Robert T Clement, 73, lifelong resident of North Berwick, died peacefully on March 4, 2023 after living with advancing Parkinson’s Disease for more than 25 years. He was surrounded by his daughters.

Robert was born May 21, 1949, the son of Meredith and Stella (Thompson) Clement. He graduated North Berwick High School in 1968.  He served 2 years in Korea with the U.S. Army during Vietnam.

Rob spent all of his adult working years with Hussey Seating Company in North Berwick. He started in the structural steel shop, ran the warehouse for several years and ultimately supervised the paint shop. He was outgoing and built many friendships at Hussey’s through the years. 

Rob was a loving father to his two daughters Sheri and Amy. He never missed their sports competitions regardless of distance or weather. He especially loved watching the Noble girls basketball team and was often one of just a few in the stands. Rob navigated raising two daughters the best he could and there has never been a doubt that his devotion to them was unmatched.

Rob loved fast cars (specifically corvettes), Fryeburg fair, boating, waterskiing, fishing, the New England Patriots, Willie Nelson, black raspberry ice cream, ketchup, all “hole in the wall” eateries, and everything sweet – likely learned and perpetuated by the fresh baked goods and candy jar at his late mom’s house at all times. He also loved his friends, and he built many solid relationships over the years. A few notable memories are school days shenanigans with Oscar Stone, weeks at Fryeburg fair with Andy Fiel and Steve Brackett, any ride to any where with Zeke Wentworth, Sunday breakfast with cousin Glenn Thompson and that notorious town meeting every Wednesday night at Rob’s house. This was an open invitation gathering to discuss town politics, reminisce with tall tales and have a drink or two. Participants varied but it is where you could frequently find Andy, Steve, Zeke, Armand Pay, Joel, Nelson Gibbs, Peter Cook, and the late Bob Desrochers.

Rob is survived by his daughters Sheri Clement (husband Joel Levesque) of North Berwick and Amy Hallowell (partner Dan Hodsdon) of Nottingham, NH; granddaughters, Jillian Levesque and Sophie Hodsdon, in laws, nieces, nephews and many lifelong friends.

He is predeceased by his brother, Dale Clement, his son-in-law Wesley Hallowell, and 2 of his best friends Steve Brackett and Everett Chadbourne.

The family would like to extend thanks to Home Health Care Specialists of Southern ME & NH for their genuine, compassionate in-home care for Rob over the last 10 years, specifically caregivers Nikki, Cristy and Griffin.  

Graveside services will be held at 1pm on May 5, 2023 at the Evergreen Cemetery, Berwick, ME. A celebration of life will immediately follow. c
