Greg and Clay worked at GE Aerospace and Raydon together and enjoyed a good working relationship that led to a great friendship. We were honored to call Clay and Barbara friends and they were some of our favorite guests on our houseboat back in the mid 1990's. Clay was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand in whatever way he could. We knew him to be a humble and ery kind man and we know he will be sorely missed by the many that loved him. Our sincere codolences to Barbara and his entire family.
