I sure loved chatting with Clayton and hearing him recite dates of family events, birthdates and other occasions. He knew them all! He was a character! Praying for the family.

I remember going to school with Clayton in Aberdeen back in the 60’s and 70’s. He was always a character and great guy to be around. I am sure he will be missed by all who knew him and loved him. Prayers going up for the entire family.
