Orland Park Dad, 92, Still 'Sharp As A Tack,' Family Says

ORLAND PARK, IL — Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Orland Park, meet Clem.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly, or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Nancy Davis who nominated Clem of Orland Park.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad, Clement J. Davis, is my hero. He will be 92 years old in June and we just returned from D.C. He wanted to return to the Korean War Memorial since it wasn’t completed when he visited a couple of years ago. He is a proud USMC veteran and is sharp as a tack. He loves the Lord, and is an avid White Sox and Bears fan. He is so fortunate to be able to live alone and still able to drive. We lost my mother back in 2021 and I am so thankful he is still kicking.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

I believe he deserves the spotlight because he is such an upstanding citizen, generous to charities and needs to read more news!

Happy Father’s Day to Clem, and thank you for all you do!
