Clément Braize, 1936-2017

Today began with some sad news. My cousin Clément had just passed away.

He'd had turned 81 last March. I remember him well because I used to stay with him and my aunt for a couple of months each year while I was in middle school and my parents needed someone to look after me.

During that time, he and his mom were very kind to me. Clément was always gregarious and loved to sing; his favorite tune was the french adaptation of Venus (Frankie Avalon) by Les Companions de la Chanson.

My sincere condolences to his wife Yvonne and daughter Annette.
Clément will always have a special place in my heart.
