Clinton worked at Maritz, Inc. as a film processor until he moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 1985. He was a dedicated and faithful member of the St. Andrews Road Church of Christ in Columbia.
If you knew Clinton, you knew he had four loves in life, 1.) studying God’s word, 2.) walking, 3.) eating a good meal and 4.) the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. You knew Clinton enjoyed your meal when he would comment “man that was good”. Clinton could tell you every statistic of each member of the Cardinals Baseball team starting from the 1950’s roster.
