Ted Clements MBE - IAM

[mph999]

You may be unaware, but Ted Clements, former Chief Examiner IAM passed away, I believe yesterday.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ted a few years ago, a very pleasent man, who was genuinally interested in the people he met.

Back in 1992, I think it was, he came to talk to we Observers of the IAM Group I was then in.
He seemed to me such a calm, gentle man.
Relaxed, yet so capable in his ability.
I might not explain this such that all will understand but it's somehow to do with past times.
When all was much more simple.
Ted Clements, I'm glad I heard you and talked to you.

Yes, well put.

I'd met him twice, the first at an IAM day at Brooklands, we got talking and my parents invited him and his wife to a school (I was 6th form then) musical concert, in Effingham, where he lived. He accepted and that was the second time I met him.

He was a regular the the Guildford IAM group meetings, and as upon meeting my dad, often asked after me, and how I was getting on.

I will try and make the funeral, my dad said he would be going.

RIP.

That was my experience too. He was a lovely man. Condolences to his family, but he will be warmly remembered.
