CLEMENTS, Roy Wilson

80, Dartmouth, passed away at home. Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, he was the son of the late William and May (Wilson) Clements. Roy worked as a tool and dye maker at Rolls-Royce in Crew, England until he immigrated to Canada in 1951. From 1951-1964 he was a tool and dye maker and instructor at HMC Dockyard and soccer coach of Halifax Shipyards. From 1964-1983 Roy, known by all as "Coach" worked at Saint Mary's University where he coached soccer. After guiding teams to numerous Atlantic Senior and Maritime Command Championships he immediately made his presence felt at Saint Mary's by molding his first Huskies soccer teams into league champions in 1965 and 1966. In total, he led the soccer Huskies to five league championships and a silver medal as Eastern Canadian CIAU (now CIS) Champions. His influence on soccer in Nova Scotia extended far beyond Saint Mary's. For more than five years he was a valued and enthusiastic soccer administrator who played a major role in fostering the sport's popularity, success and enormous growth. He served as the president of Soccer Nova Scotia, managed the Armed Forces League, chaired the Atlantic Universities Soccer Conference, was a Commissioner of the Halifax Metro Soccer League and represented Nova Scotia as a delegate to CSFA. He also initiated Junior Olympics Soccer Clinics and helped organize the Canada Games. He was recognized as the AUAA Coach of the Year in 1978 and again in 1981, received the AUAA Board of Directors Award for Contributions to University Soccer and received a Gold M Award from the Saint Mary's Student Association twice. He was also honored by Soccer Nova Scotia, as well as the cities of Halifax and Dartmouth, the Nova Scotia Department of Culture, Recreation and Fitness and Sports Nova Scotia. He retired from full-time coaching at Saint Mary's in 1983 and continued to be apart of the university's athletics program for the next 20 years as game-day ticket manager. Most important, he continued to be a well-loved and valued mentor for the men's and women's soccer coaches who succeeded him. In 2000 he was inducted in to the Saint Mary's University Sport Hall of Fame, and in 2005 was named Coach Emeritus by the university. He is survived by his wife, Florence (Allen) Clements; sons, Brett (Dana), Dartmouth; Gary , Ottawa; sister, Christine (Robin) Sandford; niece, Allison Sweatman; close cousins, Audrey and Marcia; beloved grandchildren, Robert Victor, Jamie Roy. He was predeceased by brother, Karl. Memorial service will be held in Conference Hall Loyola Building, 2nd floor, Saint Mary's University, Wednesday, February 4, at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Roy Clements Scholarship Fund at Saint Mary's University (420-5497). Funeral arrangements are entrusted to A. L. Mattatall Funeral Home, 217 Portland St., Dartmouth.

He served in the British Navy during the Second World War, as a radar operator on loan to the Canadian Navy. It was during his time on the corvettes in the North Atlantic that he came to love Canada, eventually immigrating with his wife and young family in 1956.

After retirement, he served as honourary legal counsel to the Shearwater Aviation Museum and the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust, which operates HMCS Sackville. Vince's lifelong passion was sailing.

He logged thousands of nautical miles around the globe over seven decades, visiting exotic spots including Hong Kong, Sydney, Australia, Isle of White, Marblehead, New York City, Miami, Bimini, Bequia, Martinique, the Exumas, and the Turks and Caicos. He loved to sail the South Shore and the Bras D'Or Lakes. Later on in life, his favourite spot to tie up the boat was Liscombe.

He was a long-time member of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, Ski Wentworth, and the Waegwoltic Club, where he loved to swim outdoors from June until October.
