William Clayton Obituary
Bill was an avid and skilled fisherman, bird hunter and outdoor enthusiast and spent as much time as possible at Walker Lake, Wagas and on rivers in Idaho and Montana. However, he was the happiest while spending time with his family, his true pride and joy.
Bill's entire professional career was spent at Clayton Industries where he was Chairman at the time of his death. He served on the boards of Merchants & Manufacturers Association, Caltech Associates, Don Bosco Institute, Microdata, the Clayton Medical Research Foundation, Hinshaws, and the Advisory Board of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.
We will all miss him terribly, but will carry in our hearts his memorable smile and infectious laugh.
A family service will be held in the near future.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bill's name to The Alzheimer's Association, 4221 Wilshire Blvd, #400, Los Angeles 90010 or The Boys & Girls Club, 3230 East Del Mar, Pasadena 91107. Cabot & Sons, Pasadena Directors

I extend my deepest sympathies to Mrs. Clayton, Jill and John at the passing of their beloved husband and father.
I worked at Clayton Industries for over 20 years with the last 4 of those years as Mr. Clayton's Executive Assistant. I enjoyed my years at Clayton Industries and working with Mr. Clayton and getting to know Mrs. Clayton, Jill and John.
It was a pleasure to work for Mr. Clayton and I appreciate to this day all the kindness he showed to me and the staff at Clayton Industries.
May God bless you and keep you during this difficult time.

We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Clayton. Mike got to know Mr. Clayton at Walker Lake after he became a close friend of Carl Miller's. Mr. Clayton was a wonderful, greatly respected man and Mike enjoyed the years when he would have the opportunity to visit with him from time to time at Walker Lake. We know that he will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. May he be resting
peacefully. Mike and Sally Shaw
