Clay,
Our deepest condolences for you and your family. Sincerely, Mark and jo howard.
I’m hurting. From the moment my wife came to me with the news that you are gone I didn’t know what to think. You are the hardest working man I have ever met and anytime I needed you in when I had a job that I realised was bigger than I could handle you showed up. I’m going to miss you And no amount of words can equate to the Man you were.
