Clinton was a member of the Williamsburg UMC where he was involved as a trustee and sang with the choir. Even as his memory faded, he enjoyed music by tapping out rhythms and singing along with joy. His spare time was spent as a fix-it guy as he helped friends and neighbors. His smiles and handshakes were warm and loving.
