Clemmer Gordon Wait was the son of Maxwell Alson Wait and Nettie Peterson Wait. He was preceded in death by parents and his brother, Myron. He is survived by his wife of 58 years; his devoted daughters; 4 grand-children; 2 great-grandchildren; and his loving sister.
Clemmer played the tuba in both high school concert and marching bands. He was an avid scholar who took many courses beyond the Bachelor Degree in Mathematics he earned from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1956. He enjoyed classical music, literature, and steam engines. Clemmer and his wife raised their family in St. Paul where he worked as a technical writer. Because of his interest in local politics, he often volunteered for local campaigns and worked at the local polling station. Clemmer was also very interested in family history and shared a wealth of information with other family members.
A memorial service was held in St. Paul, MN and a 2nd celebration of life in Granite Falls, MN a couple days later.
