Special thanks to his granddaughter for taking such great care of Clayton during his end of life that he was not taking his medication and it was found hidden in his room. For her robbing her grandfather not only of all his worldly possessions before and after his death but also for purposely not contacting three of his children when he passed. For purposely omitting two of his children from his obituary and funeral in the hope that they would not be able to pay their final respects and in an attempt to re-write his family legacy.
