(Clark) Clay on July 22, 1943 in Lansing, Michigan.

Tom was a hard worker and was known by many people in Grand Ledge and near his cottage on Houghton Lake as “Mr. Fix-It”. Many will miss his friendship and also the ability to pick up the phone or stop by and ask for help with a car or small engine repair, plumbing, electrical or almost any other job. Tom would almost always stop what he was doing to lend a hand and solve a problem for his family or a friend. He is survived by his wife of over 55 years, Janet (Sedore); daughters, Kim (Scott) DeLashmit and Cindy (Les) May; siblings, Martha (Gordon) Woodman, Don (Rita) Clay, Doug Clay, Dan (Dana) Clay, Mary Deuel, Rob Clay, Theresa (Paul) Monaco, Laura Clay and Becky (Tom) Martin along with numerous nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.
