Condolence: Clayton was a faithful friend and an excellent teacher. He tutored two of our children in mathematics. He was patient, thorough, and he knew how to make math plain and comprehensible. Our children all loved him and his kind ways. He and Jim spent hours working on various projects during which almost numberless jokes were received from Clayton's inexhaustible store. He always folded dollar bills for the tips he left at Men's Breakfast. I think he folded all the bills for Miss Stewart's 100th birthday money tree. Jim had encouraged Clayton and Dottie to move to residential care. What a surprise--what a blessing--when the All Souls carolers were singing at a local residential care facility we looked up to see Clayton standing in the entry way. Jim took his arm and led him right into the center of the singers. He had a place in the choir! We sang together many times, but that was the best--and last. With gratitude for his life and condolences to you, his family. Jim and Fay-Ellen Haddix

Condolence: I didn't know Clayton as well as I would have liked, but it was always good to see him and to exchange a few words with him at church and at coffee hour.. My late wife, Elise, however, sang in choir with him for many years and thought very highly of him. I know that if she were still with us, she would send her condolences as well, as she was very fond of him, as were the other choir members.

Condolence: Professor Dodge was one of many math instructors I had at UMO from 1966-1970, but he is probably the only one I could recognize 40+ years later. I was surprised to see him at the Collins Center a few years back, this time checking my ticket and handing me a program of the event I was attending. I saw him several times and spoke to him on each occasion, telling him I had been in a couple of his classes and had enjoyed each of them, even one in which he had written the text book. I will miss seeing him at those events.....could always pick him out of the crowd as he hadn't changed a bit in appearance! I am certain that his passing will leave a huge void in your lives. Thanks for sharing him with UMO and more than 7000 students!

Condolence: I always looked forward to seeing Clayton either as a dental patient or at the Collins Center for the Arts where he was his usual gregarious self showing all he encountered with a sincere welcoming smile.
A man of unusual vision, he was a teacher of life to all his students and all those, including me who were lucky enough to have a Clayton Dodge chapter in their life.
May he rest in peace with his God.
