Uncle Clem was a great uncle and role model to both myself, brother and cousins, he was someone we could look up to and ask for advice and seek guidance, always making sure we all knew right from wrong. I remember at family functions where you used to be BIG SELECTA (DJ) playing the baddest riddims full blast.

It’s strange having to accept that you have gone, seeing that even the day before I spoke to you on the phone and made plan to visit you.

May your memory live on through us all. Rest in peace Uncle Clement, you will be missed greatly by us all.

Always Upbeat, never a dull moment. Reggae, football and Jamaican current affairs. An outstanding uncle to my sons. He always found the time to share his wirds of wisdom with them. He always had a gentle, fatherly way with youngsters. Firm, but loving. He never kept a grudge. RIP my brother - in - law. Who is left for me to have our live-wire conversation with...

Well Big Cuz! I can’t believe it my ‘Key Domino’ as gone to rest with the Ancestors in the ‘Upper Room’ I’m gonna miss you like crazy fam! The sweet laughter the reassuring smile & the iron clad advice. You were & always will be my ‘Ever Shining Light’ Even tho there was a decade plus one in years between us, we got on like a ‘Sweet Plate Of Ackee & Salt Fish wid Rice Peas & a side order of Ground Food!’ My favourite memory’s of you was when you came to my wedding and we was at my wedding reception it was at ‘Granada Studio’s’ In Manchester. We ate & danced and laughed but the part that sticks the most was when we sat in the theme set up of the ‘House Of Parliament’ going on like we were ministers but smoking big cigars and busting pure patwa saying ‘Jamaicans Tek over fe de night’ we laughed so hard Bwuoy it’s a wonder how are belly’s never buss.😂 Then I was honoured when you asked me to be your ‘Master Of Ceremonies’ at your ‘Renewal Of Your Vows’ reception. I was so nervous but when you gave me de ‘Two Eyed Wink when I finished, you left me feeling elated that job was good enough for you along with the sweet kin teet you always have. There’s so many great memories I could share but I’ll finish with this, May the gates of Zion receive you with all its Majesty and the Angels guide you to the arm’s of the Ancestors and then to finally on to have our Heavenly Father enfold you in His Glory! Sleep Well My Beloved till we meet again…

I'm sorry that I'm not there, Clem.

I remember when I was a boy growing up in Bedford with my friends Tony, Clem, Larry, and myself, running around the town playing music on our sound Ital rockers.

It was a sad day when I heard that Clem had passed away. The things about younger times have passed so quickly, and I remember the good times we spent together when we were younger.

As time has passed so quickly, many good friends have passed away, so you must remember that time waits for no one and just love everyone.

Clem will be missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace, my friend Tony.

Clem was loving and real, he was a wonderful husband to Sophie, great father to his daughters and laid a strong foundation for them.
What we admired most about Clem was his unwavering optimism – even in the face of the tough challenges of his health issues over the past few years, he remained resilient, always smiling, never complains, finding light in the darkest of moments and being a pillar of strength and a source of encouragement for us all.
Rest in peace Clem, You will forever be missed, but your spirit will forever live on in our hearts.

I have known Clem for a very long time. Our friendship goes back many years, inside and outside of the church. I could call Clem to give me a hand with things and if he was available he would always help.

Clem, Harold and myself were called the Three Musketeers by Neslyn. Clem was very much liked in the church. He will be sadly missed by all at All Saints. His jokes will be missed in the Ambrose Reeves Room on a Sunday.

Remembering Clem
Clem was a great friend and former colleague whom I first met in the Watford Virgin Media franchise (then called NTL) in the early 2000s.

We were both telecommunications engineers; Clem worked for Kelly communications Limited, whilst I worked as the installations manager for NTL.

Clem would be sent up from Bedford, as and when Kelly needed cover in Watford, as he was one of their most experience engineers and could cover all type of installations.

With us being the only Jamaicans around, often the only black men, we naturally gravitated to each other and became firm friends.

A few years later we met again when I oversaw Beds, Herts and Buck as Area Manager for Virgin Media. Clem was still employed by Kelly working out of the Flitwick Headend where my new office was located. By then Clem and I were great friends and when I eventually made the move to Bedford, to start a family, Clem was there to show me the ropes: where to shop and where to drink.

One year later, during the baptism of my son, I was surprised to see that Clem was one of the wardens of All Saint’s church in Queens Park. It was there that I met his “Girls”. Who were his pride and joy for as long as I have known him.

Here is a little story about Clem which I would like to share.

During his time working at the Flitwick yard, I received a complaint that Clem was going missing during the day. It was reported that although he was one of the first engineer in the yard in mornings, he was the last to start his first job. He was also going missing in the evenings and was always the engineer last finish his jobs.

A decision was made to audit Clem’s jobs. We would track him on the systems to see when he started his first jobs, interview his customers to see how well he performed each job and how long it took him to do each job.

Clem did not know this at the time, but the results of the audit was a surprise to everyone:

Clem would collect his equipment every morning before the other engineers arrived then return home to take his kids to school in the mornings. He would then start his morning jobs and completed them before the school run in the evening so that he could return to Bedford to collect his girls from school.

He would be back out in the evening and work until very late and, not only would he complete all of his own jobs, but he would also then go on to assist any struggle engineers who are still out late to complete their jobs. Clem would often also pick up extra jobs which would otherwise be missed if another engineer was out of time.

All the customer that we interviewed loved him and many of them knew personally as Clem was well known in Bedford.

It out to Clem success rates was the best in area. His repeat fault rate, which was almost zero and he routinely completed the highest number of installations in any given month.

No one ever complained about his performance again after I summited my detailed audit report.

This is story I am happy to share as it showed the kind of man Clem was:
Loving husband and father
Kind, helpful colleague and mentor
Pillar of the community in which he lived and
A dear and treasured friend.

Clem, you will miss by all who knew you. The best that we can hope for is that you will be there to greet us when we join that big reggae party in the hereafter. I understand that you are also a great DJ so let’s hope you will “dropping some tunes” when I join the party.

We have had the pleasure of knowing Clem for over 25 years as a close family friend and he has been like a brother to us.
Clem was a warm and friendly person always keen to enjoy a chat and a laugh. He was courageous in facing much ill-health.
At difficult times he has been there for us to offer support.
Well known and respected in the community, he was a popular face to all.A devoted father, Clem will be deeply missed.
May his soul rest in peace

Clem, what a man you were, so so real. When we spoke from time to time you would always say it as it is. A true character you were. Our families were close since the 60s and we would visit aunt Janey's home and she would visit our home. When my sister married Clarence we were not just neighbours, but family. You will always be remembered. RIP my brother.

I just heard sad news that Clem has left this realm. The first time that I can remember hearing a full sound system was in 1977. It was the Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee and that summer we had street parties. I was 14 years old then and Ital Rockers strang up their sound on Gladstone Street.

That day has memories, I remember sitting on a wall that day with Lloyd and Mervin Plummer next to their house. Lloyd was a good youth and always had his comb in his hair and Mervin was full of jokes, Lloyd left this realm many years ago but I dont know about Mervin. Those times Clem used to live just around the corner from me and his brother Aston was a childhood friend, me, Aston, Gary Judah and Raphael made our own sound in 1978 and we played in the Grosevenor Centre, Jimmy played a role when we set our sound, we borrowed Jimmy's boxes. Yes Clem was a lovely man who always treated me good and respectfull and even up to a few years ago anytime I buck up with Clem we would catch up and talk about music.

That day in 1977 when I first heard Ital Rockers(Later Mabraks/Mabraka) had the biggest effect on me, it was when I heard Jimmy Ranks on the mic and I couldnt believe it, Jimmy that I always see, he only lived 2 streets away and he sounded like the JA toasters I was listening to and it inspired me. So Ital Rockers has a part in my heart and so did Clem. Maybe I could say that hearing Ital Rockers that day had such an effect on my life. I will say Aston had a big effect on my life, I always say it and thankful I got to tell Aston that and so before that Clem, Jimmy, Ital Rockers had a big effect on my life as a youth so I will say RIP Bro Clem, now you touch your finger on Jah golden pen. I borrowed this photo from Patrick Barr and Jimmy Ranks showing Clem behind him.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of another beloved member of the Queen’s Park community, Mr. Clement Baugh, otherwise known as “Clem.” Clem, who resided on Old Ford End Road, passed away on January 2, 2025, while in the hospital. He was a farmer and bus driver known for his friendly demeanour and warm spirit. Whether waving to familiar faces or beeping his vehicle horn to greet others, Clem’s kindness and joyful presence left a lasting impact on all who knew him. The Queen’s Park community extends heartfelt condolences to his family during this difficult time. Clem’s memory will live on in the hearts of many.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of a true pioneer from the legendary sound system Ital Rockers owned by Clement Baugh. As a cornerstone of reggae and sound system culture from the 1960s, Ital Rockers helped shape the sounds that resonate with us to this day. Not too long ago, we had the honour of featuring Ital Rockers Clement and Pappa T on Legendary SoundChat alongside Quaker City—a moment we’ll forever treasure. His contributions to the culture and the community are immeasurable. Rest in power to a true icon. Your legacy will live on through the music and hearts of those you’ve touched.
