JOHN BEST CLAY

I continue to pray every day for your family! God bless you during the holidays. I hope you have peace.

Fair seas my shipmate friend, you are in God's hands now John.

From the day I met John he always had a big hug and kiss for me! No matter what he's most cheerful loving kind person I've met. I'm glad that he's looking over us now and I'll bet he's probably wondering why we're all crying! God bless you Helen and all your beautiful family! You're all in my prayers. May your loving memories replace the sadness that you have right now. Love always, Leah

John and I became friends and bonded during our High School years, when several of us "gear heads" worked together at Tony's Sohio. Those were great times and the memories still brought smiles and laughter every time we would reminisce about those days. John "friended" my whole family before there was such a thing as social media. He was blessed with a gift for words and he never ran out of them! I'm a better person for having known you. Rest in peace my friend.

I knew John for 45 yrs. and he was immensely talented as a Fabricator, Mechanic,, Welder, and just a good "Jack of all Trades". He & I shared a love for Muscle cars and spent many a late night working on our cars. John had another talent that became apparent reading his Facebook posts during his battle with cancer. John was able to ecpress his Love of family & life in words through his posts. I was so glad to share with him how articulate he was with his heart and soul. I also let him know...

I will miss you I have great memories of the time we grew up in North Ridgeville. Lisa Hixon
