Clay was special. A classy guy with great intelligence, skill and grace. As a lawyer he was first-rate. As a person he was the best. We have all lost a great human.

Hi Family of Clay Long. I hadn't thought of him until this email arrived. My memories are deep and very warm about our friendship, which arose out of our common roles as lawyers. Thank you for bringing him and our long friendship to mind today. Cheers. Bevis Longstreth

I am related to Elizabeth Long. I visited them in Atlanta in 1964 while I was working for part of a year from Britain. I remember meeting one of his lawyer friends. He must have had a terrific career. I would like to have known them better.

We tell Clay Long stories with great appreciation for all he taught us about being a great lawyer.

Our Christmas letter returned. Checked web to learn of Clay's death. Terrible news. So many wonderful memories. Would love to speak to Elizabeth. Am at 845 737-6715. Bevis

I offer my sincere condolences to Judge Long, Katie and the rest of Clay's family. Clay was a brilliant and courageous man, lawyer and leader. I was blessed to have been among those mentored by him. I appreciate that Clay supported me when I practiced law with his firm. I appreciate even more that he supported me when I decided to leave the practice of law to pursue another path.
