Joseph P. Clayton

My very delayed condolences on Joe's passing. I got to work with him during my career at RCA as an Engineering Technologist in TV design and always found him to actually be "a usual Joe". I will always remember him as a all around good guy.

I never met Joe, but we were almost travel mates to Japan. My company, Hitachi, wanted to hire Joe as CEO in 1997 so he agreed to several high-level interviews with our Tokyo executives. As fate would have it, Frontier called and needed Joe more urgently so we never made our trip. I stayed in contact with him and he helped arrange an interview and job with one of my friends in Frontier. He was a vet from the Coast Guard and needed that first good break. Joe was a special kind of business...

My condolences to Jan and her family. Joe was the most vibrant and charismatic professional I have ever worked for. His presence and energy are a great loss. I will never forget Joe!

Sincerest sympathy,

Very sorry for your loss and grief; may the promise at John 6:40 give you comfort and peace.

Joe was one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was both brilliant and personable. For a man of his accomplishments, I was always amazed at how he could relate to the average guy. The stories of his time in New York as a southern gentleman will always bring a smile to my face. Jan, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. The world was a better place with Joe and he will be missed by all.

Those who pass on God Keeps in his memory because he cares for them. Sorry for your loss.

I lost a good friend and colleague. Joe was instrumental in bringing me to the RCA team from Chicago. One of the best decisions ever. Hallmarks of Joe's character were a love of family, loyalty to friends, and a business visionary. Another focus was Joe's unrelenting love of Kentucky; a Kentucky Colonel through and through. He will be missed by all he met
