NORFOLK, VIRGINIA; Clayton Lee Vaughan passed away on Saturday, February 14 in Norfolk after a brief illness. His wit, intellect, hearty laugh and beautiful blue eyes will be missed by all. He was born on April 4, 1955, attended Granby elementary and high schools, studied philosophy and literature at VCU, and moved back to Norfolk in 1987 to raise a family.
He loved his job as head of the Hofheimer Art Library at Old Dominion University where he worked since 1988. His knowledge and assistance was enormously admired and appreciated by students and faculty. Faculty in the Art Department were among his closest friends. He also dedicated his time and energy as managing editor of the Powhatan Review.
His passions were art, writing poetry, researching his family's genealogy, reading literature, biographies, history, and listening to music of all kinds. He is now with Jack, Allen and the other Beats who are toasting his remarkable life.
He is survived by three beautiful daughters -- Kaitlin, Hannah and Molly – by his parents Edwin and Alice Vaughan, four brothers Mark (and wife Martha), Billy, Eric and Russell (and wife Pam), many nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, and countless friends. He touched so many lives -- in ways he never knew.
A memorial service will be held in the Norfolk chapel of H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts. on Wednesday, February 18 at 11 am. Burial services will be private at a later date. In Lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the APVA Foundation, 204 W. Franklin St., Richmond, VA 23220 or a charity of the donor's choice. Online condolences may be sent to the family at hdoliver.com
