He was born and raised in Louisiana and then entered the military as a young man. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1942, and served for four years.

In his spare time he enjoyed being outdoors where his favorite activities were hunting, fishing, and working in his garden. He was always helping his neighbors and sharing his homegrown produce with them. His family was always central in his life and he greatly enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren.
Clinton was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that he will be fondly remembered as a devoted family man, a decorated soldier, and a good friend.
