Vale: James (Jimmy) Alex CLEMENTS – RAA
We received advice of the death on Friday 8 July 2022 of Jimmy Clements. Jim was a career soldier and served as a gun sergeant with 106th Battery, 4th Field Regiment in South Vietnam from February 1970 until 1971. Jim had been suffering from Lewy Dementia for over 2 years (which is dementia with Parkinson’s type symptoms as well) and had many falls. He fell over again a few weeks ago and sustained a head/neck injury which he never really recovered from. He died on his own terms, refusing to eat and drink at Murdoch Hospice with his daughter by his side. She had been staying with him overnight whilst his wife Joan would spend the days with him, so he always had someone with him.
Messages of condolences may be passed to me, and I will collate and forward to his widow Joan, daughter Joanne and son Steven.
RIP James Alex Clements.
