Clinton was a beloved and devoted husband and father. He is survived by his wife Nancy, whom he married in 1976; daughters Anne and Patricia; his brother John of Cleveland, OH; and several nieces and nephews.

Nancy Davis:

“Clint was a man of integrity, who always gave his very best to the engineering profession. When we would go on vacations, it was always educational, as Clint would share his knowledge with our family explaining how certain engineering marvels worked. He loved music and was an accomplished pianist. He also enjoyed reading, gardening, hiking, skiing, and spending time with his family. In addition, he cared about people, the engineering profession, this world we live in, and truly enjoyed life.”
