Clayton always had a smile and a great story. We both attended Gaston College for two years and there was never a dull moment. Clayton could always find a way to get into trouble and the next thing that you knew he was getting out of it with not problems. He had a way with words and actions for painting a great picture. One that I remember was when he got his Pontiac Grand Prix stuck out in a field one afternoon. The description and actions of his father wading through knee deep mud with a wrecker in tow was a classic and had everyone in stitches. Rest in Peace.
