For Aclet (aka Nick, A.Q. or Don Clayton) there were no strangers in the world, only friends he had yet to meet. He could hold a conversation immediately with anybody. Everyone was interesting. His strong and out going personality would light up any room he step foot in. He shall forever resonate in the lives of those who had the pleasure of being with him. Anacleto was a Great Man.

The memories, love and legacy he has passed along will always be remembered, never forgotten. All of him will be missed.
