Peter G. Clements, Sr., 56, of Preston Drive, lost a very brave fight to pancreatic cancer on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017. He was the beloved husband of Meg Clements.

Born on Martha's Vineyard to the late Albert and Lorraine Clements, he lived in Barrington since 1989 where he and Meg raised their four children, Peter Jr., Cailin, Erin and Andy.

Proudly born and raised on Martha's Vineyard, he attended Vineyard public schools and Southeastern Massachusetts University (SMU), presently UMass Dartmouth. Peter played varsity basketball with the Vineyarders and was a member of the SMU basketball team. In addition, he was a lifelong Celtics fan and coached CYO basketball teams for many years.

Peter had a successful career in financial sales employed by Fidelity Investments and later Columbia Threadneedle.

Peter was a communicant of Saint Luke's Church. He enjoyed boating on Narragansett Bay in his boat Jaws, named after a movie he was an extra in during his youth.

He also enjoyed driving his 1965 Bonneville in the Memorial Day parade in support of our Marine Corp veterans.

Most importantly his passion was his wife, four children and his large extended family. Peter’s lively personality and great sense of humor brought a smile to all those who knew him. He was a much beloved friend to many and he will be sorely missed.

There will be a Mass of Christian burial at St. Luke’s Church, 108 Washington Road, Barrington, RI 02806,  Monday, Oct. 23, at 10 a.m. followed by his interment in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, East Providence. Calling Hours in Smith-Mason Funeral Home, 398 Willett Ave, Riverside RI 02915, will take place on Sunday, Oct. 22, from 4 to 8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, in his memory, would be greatly appreciated.
