"Very Sorry to hear about Clem passing, my condolences go to his family and friends, Keith"
"I'm very sorry to hear that. My condolences to Clem's family."
"That's very sad news."
"That explains things then. Thank you for the update and my sympathies to the friends and family of Clem Vickery."
"I have just been informed that Clem Vickery died in hospital on February 5th. We will have to wait to see what happens to Clifford Essex Music.
My deepest sympathy goes to all his family."
