Compliments of Baker Funeral Home.

Richard Steve Clay, 80 years old, passed away on November 29, 2016. He entered this world on November 28, 1936 in Timpson, Texas born to George and Gladys Clay. After serving his country in the U.S. Marine Corps., he graduated from Stephen F. Austin College. He settled in Baton Rouge and worked in industrial insulation for Hullinghorst Industries and Iberville Insulation. Lovingly nicknamed "Triky" for his sly, impish sense of humor.
