“I remember Mr. Claxton from my days at Good Counsel High School in Wheaton. A kind man with a twinkle in his eye. He had a trickster quality, as if an inside joke had been played and you were getting to share the punchline with him. A man of faith who passed this quality onto his children, a brood of boys who shared his sense of humor and his assurance of a bigger plan that was unfolding. Job well done and Rest in Peace Mr. Claxton. John Singleton”
