He married Virginia Karen Spencer from Spencer, Ind., in 1961. They were married for 58 years and have two children.
Clayton worked as an Engineer for the Pennsylvania Railroad before starting a successful trucking company that still exists today.
He loved to fish, hunt and travel in their RV. Clayton belonged to the Masons for 58 years, was involved in politics and was a loving father.
Clayton is survived by his wife, Virginia; daughter, Rhonda (Nix) Wilson (Jerry) Mickler; their son, Clayton, wife, Sandi; and grandchildren, Spencer (Tracy) Wilson, Noah and Logan; and two great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, Clayton would hope that you donate to your favorite charity.
