HARVEY ROBERT CLEMENS (1947-1996)

Bob Clemens was born on December 6, 1947 to Warren H and Marian Clemens of Hatboro.

In High School, he was enrolled in Montgomery County Area Technical school to study electronics. He attended classes there every morning, and as the yearbook says, he “came into the parking lot at 11:15 on two wheels” (on his motorcycle).

He was a friendly guy who loved to hang out at the Billiard Ball with the guys.

He died in a traffic accident June 9, 1966, just days before graduation.

The accident was reported as follows: Robert Clemens and Robert Perks, both 18, were riding a motorbike south on York Road and a truck, traveling north on York Rd was making a left hand turn into Street Rd. The two vehicles collided and both boys were thrown from the cycle. The mishap occurred at the height of the evening rush hour and police had their hands full directing traffic. Perks was rushed to Abington Hospital by ambulance where he was admitted with a broken spine and broken jaw.

Clemens was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was survived by his mother and two sisters.

Services were held at the Decker Funeral Home on June 13.

 Bob is buried in Trappe, PA in the Augustus Lutheran Church Cemetery beside the graves of his parents.

In Lieu of flowers, it was announced that contributions could be sent to the H. Robert Clemens Scholarship fund in care of the Bank of Old York Road in Willow Grove.
