Roy Clayton Obituary

It is with great sadness that we are sharing about the loss of Roy Howard Clayton, dedicated husband of Helen Elaine Clayton (nee Little) father of David, Bruce and Jennifer and proud grandfather to six grandchildren. Survived by his sister Norma Tempest. Roy passed away at the Hamilton General hospital with his loving family by his side.
A special thank-you to the medical team at Juravinski & The General ICU for their ongoing compassion, care, and team collaboration in working alongside our family during this very difficult time.
Roy was a Chartered Accountant by occupation for Revenue Canada but his true passion was construction including several additions to the family home.
While it is so hard to say goodbye to an amazing husband, father & grandfather, we know he is now resting peacefully.
You have created many wonderful memories for our family and will live on forever in our hearts because of the love and happy home you provided.
Roy Clayton's Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, January 21, 2023 at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 720 Ninth Avenue, Hamilton, Ontario. Visitation starting at 11:00 a.m., followed by a service at noon and then a light lunch.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to Roy and Helen's place of worship, Trinity Presbyterian Church or Parkinson Canada would be greatly appreciated.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Helen and Family,
We are sorry to be so late to express our condolences on behalf of John, Sharon and Lynn Arnott. Roy was always game to entertain at St Enoch events, and the night of grass skirts and hula dancing will forever be etched in our memories .
John had a fall in March and is currently living in Toronto to recover.
Roy was always such a giving and helpful
partner in fixing all things at St Enoch, with John right there with him. The two of them kept that boiler going long after it should have been retired.
God bless all of you and we trust your memories of Roy´s love will bring you comfort.
John Arnott, Sharon Arnott and Lynn Oldfield

My sincere condolences to Roy's family. I have known Roy from Trinity Presbyterian Church, ever since the amalgamation of St. Enoch's when Roy became the Treasurer and member of the Board of Managers. Roy was always so dedicated and committed. He volunteered for many years. I will remember him as such a lovely gentle-man. Those we love and respect always remain with us in spirit, through memories, in the legacies, lessons, and values they leave behind. Again, deepest sympathies.
