Clinton was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Columbus. He attended school at rural District No. 43 in Platte County, completing the eighth grade. He graduated from Kramer High School in Columbus with the class of 1946. Following graduation, he began farming with his father near Columbus. He enlisted in the United States Air Force on Oct. 3, 1951, and served until his honorable discharge on Dec. 5, 1953. He then returned to farming with his father.
On July 20, 1956, Clinton was baptized into the Catholic faith at St. Bonaventure Catholic Church in Columbus. On Sept. 1, 1956, he was united in marriage to Jeanette Steiner at St. Mary's Catholic Church at rural Schuyler. The couple made their home on a farm near Richland until 1968, when they moved to Spalding. Clinton continued farming, owned and operated Asche Ready-Mix, and drove a fuel truck for many years.
Clinton was a member of St. Michael's Catholic Church and the St. Michael's Men's Club.
In addition to his son, Clinton was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Karen Luchsinger; and two brothers-in-law, Dean Klug and Paul Luchsinger.
