Lawrence Edward McClements, Sr. passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on April 13, 2019.
Known by all as Eddie, he was born in Dover, Delaware on Nov. 28, 1952 to Lawrence McClements and the late Myrtle May (Jarman) McClements. Eddie was a 1971 graduate of Dover High School and served two years in the Army before returning home to the family farm.
Eddie was a hardworking, loving husband to his wife of 47 years, Joan Marie (Clough) McClements. He farmed alongside his father and worked for many years with Eastern Milk Producers.

Along with his wife and father, Eddie is survived by his sons and their spouses, Edward Jr, and Leslie McClements, Donald and Katie McClements; his grandsons, Zachary Chase and Dalton Lee McClements; his brothers, Ronald (Sharon), Richard, and David (Stacy); and countless nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.
