I remember my Uncle Clayton mostly as a child living with my Grandma and Uncle Norman. He always seemed to be getting cleaned up to go out on a date with Evelyn as all my other uncles were playing cards. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the boys and their mother as well..I know it is a trying time for you right now but from what I knew of him he loved life and living and his family.
His memory will no be forgotten.
