  3. Clay was the manager of our Kirkwood HS basketball team his senior year and my junior year. He carried me off the floor when I got knocked out at Kiel Auditorium. When I got to Merimac J.C. Clay was there and the manager of our baseball team. We were good friends and he was such a nice guy. I got to see him again last September. I can’t believe he is gone
