Clayton Edward Ruth

Clay was a good person who had high morals & was an excellent husband & father. I met him around 1972 & we kept in contact until about 10 years ago. He was one of the smartest persons I knew. I remember him fondly. He was a proud member of the club I formed in 1969, Tape Recorders Anonymous.
His love of technology defined him. I am sad to hear of his passing. He was too young.

Clay was a close virtual friend of mine via tape corresponding, voice files, ham radio, and email. We met through the great lakes tape club in the early 70s and stayed friends many years. We drifted apart in the past decade due to life. I had no idea he had passed and just found out. we did meet in person several times over the years we were close virtual friends. Once in the NYC area, once here in NH and twice I visited him at his place. Now there is no way for me to get back together with...

My deepest sympathy in your time of loss. Clayton was a great friend through our Jr High and High School years. Although we grew apart; I will always cherish the times we sent together, especially riding into Chicago with his father, (in the Covair) to pick up electronic parts.

Clayton was a prince of a guy. We graduated from Munster High and we went on to Purdue. He used to give me a ride to school and we used to eat lunch together. I saw him once in a while when we both worked at S&L. I will remember him in my prayers.

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Clay. He was a great friend and a tremendous help to me during my many years at S&L. My sincere condolences to his entire family.

My condolences. I first met Clay in the 1980's at S&L. We rode the Metra ELectric train together. He was a good engineer and a whis with computers. He will be missed.

I remember Clayton from MHS.
May his memory be a blanket of comfort to his family today forever

Dear Bonnie and Annette, I had the pleasure of working with Clay at S&L. I send my deepest sympathies and prayers. May he rest in peace.
