BYE CLATE

a very old pickup truck drives down a rural street with a coffin wrapped in a flag in the back. There is a banner on the truck in red white and blue which says "Bye Clate" on it.

Was sitting out on my porch reading yesterday when I heard a lot of honking. This is unusual. Then a LOT of cars and trucks came by including this one. This was Clayton Butterfield's truck. That's Clayton in the back. He passed away on Tuesday after a long life of incredible community service. He and his wife ran a free medical supply lending library out of his barn. He picked up trash for neighbors and took it to the transfer station. He was an all around great guy. RIP Clate, they do not make them like you anymore.
