Obituary For Mr. Climent R. Gardner

Augusta, Georgia-Mr. Climent Roberson Gardner was born November 5, 1935, to the late Joe Sam Gardner and Tommie Elsie Barnes Gardner in Buena Vista, Georgia.

While in service he graduated from the U.S. Army Signal School, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. He began his civil service career at Warner Robins Air Force Base in 1958 and transferred to the U.S. Army Signal Center at Fort Gordon, Georgia, as a Training Instructor from 1966 to 1974. He was promoted to a Communications/Training Specialist in 1974.
