Condolences to the Freney family on their loss. Globe has not only lost another of its legendary athletes, but more importantly Globe has lost one of its finest individuals who made us all very proud of the way he lived his life and all that he accomplished. RIP, Clay, my friend; we are all so very fortunate to have had you in our lives.

Love you, Rest In Peace my dear friend.
