Clayton was always ready to talk about the farm where he grew up and he was extremely proud of the fact he was able to serve on the school board. He served the same time as my father so he would talk about that as we were visiting. Glad I was able to know him and I extent my sympathy to his family.
Helen and family, very sad to read of the passing of Clayton. Such an integral part of our family over the years. Feel blessed to have been able to accompany my Dad to AF and on occasion spend time with Clayton…..The Corner Bar Brewer trips and VFW Horseshoe event come to mind. RIP Clayton and condolences to the Williams family.
So sorry to hear of Clayton’s passing. So many good stories from Clayton and the RailRoad workers. You could always count on Clayton for a conversation. Had a lot of good talks with him over the years. I’m sure Kenny and Renee are visiting with him already. He will be missed.
