Our deepest sympathies on Clayton's passing. He always was a truly pleasant person to know and talk with. We're hoping that your memories will help you through the sadness of this moment. Thanksgiving is a time to cherish those we love and all that they are/were in our lives. Appropriately, we should remember the special ways Clayton touched all he met. Sorrow eases a bit with time if we hold dear to the laughter, good times, and treasured memories of who he was.
It was our privilege to know Clayton over the years. I have many fond memories of his ingenuity (Clayton forgive me.. TALENT) with simple basic tools of the "old-school" ("good-school") way of doing things.
We will truly miss him.
