It was a pleasure working with Clay. He was a gentleman through & through

Clay was one of the first people I met at Marbon Chemical when I joined after graduation from college. He was a pleasure to work with and a very kind and gentle man. My best regards to his family.

Clay was one of the sweetest, nicest men I've ever had the pleasure and honor of meeting.
He liked to say how ornery and hardheaded he was, but I never saw him without a smile and a good word. He will remain in our hearts forever.
Our prayers go out to Ruth & family.
