Joseph Thomas "Joe" Clayton

Dear Dorothy and family,
Joe was quite a guy! His exuberance for life inspired many to pursue their own dreams and adventures. He will be missed by all those who had the good fortune to know him!
With love,
Lila Moe, Loli and family

As both of my parents taught at SHS, I know how it is to lose a loved one. I think there were three of us 54 SHS grads whose parents were members of the SHS faculty. Jim? Verlyn?

Dorothy, my heart goes out to you and your family. Love, Barbara

Joe was a great family friend. He was also a wonderful art teacher. I was in his art class for 4 years. Stepping into the art room was relaxing. Joe usually played music and he taught lessons but always encouraged our own creative spins on assignments. He made everyone in the class feel important.

Joe greeted me as a new teacher at Snohomish and became an instant friend. I respect him for being a member of the Greatest Generation, his service to our country, his commitment to his students, and his mentorship. I love him as a friend.

While I didn't have Mr. Clayton for a teacher I did have Mrs. Clayton. I am truly sorry for the loss and may you find comfort knowing he is in God's hands now!
