Clem Smith, 90, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, September 23, 2025. Clem/Vaughn was an avid runner, skier (Club member for many years) and sailor who stayed very active well into his late 80s. He owned several sailboats over the years and was particularly proud of the 20-ft Luger he successfully built. He cruised extensively with Franny and other family members in Cape Cod Bay and to many ports-of-call including Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cuttyhunk, and Block Island. Oftentimes, some of their children joined them as well. 

Robert Alan “Al” Sloan, 75, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Al was often referred to as “PerpetuAL” by his sons for his constant desire to be active. He enjoyed walking the dog with Janice, skiing with grandchildren, golfing with friends, planning his next big vacation, and meticulously detailing his Porsche. Al also meticulously looked after his family. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend and fellow Ski Club member, Janice Rosamond Sloan. More than anything, Al liked to spend time with family and friends - all who knew him are encouraged to take great care of those they love and always make time to enjoy a good laugh. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
