Dear Clayton Family,

I was saddened to learn of Paul's passing yesterday, As you already know he was an awesome man who had a positive influence on many, many people. My time spent with him in Forsyth and Baxely working for Custom Srinklers is still very dear to my heart. As a young man working summers to pay for college his advice and wisdom was always welcomed. He was a tremdendous influence in my life and to this day, I tell people about Paul Clayton. I spoke with Russ last night and I know he is looking forward to speaking at Paul's funeral. Rest assured that I am praying for your family this week.
