Clay and Betty were our neighbors early in our marriage and they were perfect examples of loving and caring neighbors. We borrowed Kelly for our shopping trips and I was her Boo-Boo. The two years when we were neighbors are precious memories of working together on household projects, caring for vehicles, playing games together. and enjoying each other. It's nice to know that they are in heaven together and that some day they will be helping us adjust to that new home also. We thank God for all the memories. They are good ones!. Boo-Boo

It is with great sadness and a broken heart that I send this note about your wonderful father and grandfather. I am lucky to have known Clayton and Betty thanks to being the best friend of their wonderful daughter, Kriss. She is absolutely a most wonderful legacy that they leave on earth for all of us to cherish... and the same is true of their amazing granddaughters. They, along with all who knew Clayton and Betty, will keep their loving spirits bright in our hearts and in our lives. My favorite memory of Clayton and Betty is when they visited New York City for the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and stayed in my apartment there while I was away. They did so much across the city in that short weekend, and to my amazement my apartment was also much spiffier on my return than I ever could have left it. It was as if they were never there and some sparkle fairies had instead touched down in my apartment and shined it up! They later visited me in Pasadena, California, and stayed with me there, too. They were so much fun to enjoy and there was always some wonderful story of their day and the many personal and positive encounters they had made with others. When I had my first baby, they shared a beach house with Kriss' and my family. They were so kindly respectful of all the many people in the house, and yet behind the scenes they ensured that everything went smoothly. They were a partnership that showcased love and honor and loyalty and humor and fun. And they twinkled. It is that twinkle that I loved most, and I will remember this each night as I look into the starry skies and count my blessings that I had such a wonderful couple to emulate in my own life, and to remember with joy and love and appreciation. Twinkle on, Betty and Clayton. You were loved.

Clay Fillbach was one of my best friends here in Waterwood. Clay, Lew Wilson and I had the same personality and we spent a lot of time in each others faces, arguing about this or that and yet we remained very close friends. Whenever I was working on something dangerous, Clay, Murray McMahon, Lonnie or Lew was by my side, I would tell them, “Make sure you brush your teeth and bring your cell phone”. The joke was if something went wrong they might have to give me mouth to mouth resuscitation. Another thing about Clay, he knew a lot about how to make money, I made a lot by listening to him. Also, about 15 years ago I nick named Clay the “sheriff” because if you needed to know something about Waterwood you went to Clay Fillbach, and he would tell you word for word what you needed to know. Without Clay, Murray and Lew, Waterwood will never be the same. We spent many hours “fixing and fussing” making Waterwood a better place to live and enjoying every minute of it. What else can I say, I’m going miss you my old friend. May you rest in Peace!
