Not sure what to say?

I will always remember Clay's beautiful smile, and his very jazzy and colorful plaid sports coat that just MADE the holidays! He and Kitty made the happiest, most fascinating couple ... truly missed in Atlanta!!!

My prayers & thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.

I also knew Clayton and the rest of the New Jersey crowd when we were at Camp Clark on the Cape in Sandwich, Mass. So we go back a long time to share some really wonderful experiences and memories. Clayton was an interesting, fun and brilliant guy and led a wonderful, successful and productive life. My condolences to his family.

I knew Clayton when we were both at Camp Clark (Lawrence Pond, Sandwich, Mass.). I am gratefull to Pete Mandell who forwarded to me a notice of his passing. Pete was also a Camp Clark person and there are few of us left. Thank you for posting the account of his life. It is clear that he made very good use of his time on this earth.

I went to law school with Clay and will always remember him as a good friend. He had a way of hang his suit coat by rolling the lapel and holding it with a stick pin. Clay and Kitty stayed with us on Cape Cod. Clay enjoyed every minute. He loved swimming in the salt water and put off showering so he could feel the salt.
Special prayers to Kitty.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Farnham family during this time of grief. May you find peace in God who brings comfort to all the mourning ones.

Our prayers, thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of Clayton. For several years in our early history he was a valued member of our Capt. John Collin's Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. He also served in leadership a couple of times. He was a fine man and will be missed by many.
