In Loving Memory of … Clayton Huey
It’s with great sadness to learn about the passing of Center Moriches legend, Clayton Huey.
Clayton was born in 1931 in Elmira, New York. He graduated from Elmira Free Academy in 1949, and attended nearby SUNY Cortland where he received a degree in education. He married his beloved wife Joan, and the following year welcomed twin boys, James and Michael.
In 1954, the young family moved to Long Island, where Clayton pursued his career in education. He settled in Center Moriches and was hired by his hometown school district in 1955 as a physical education teacher and coach. There, they had two additional children, Leanne and Laura.
While teaching, Clayton went on to pursue an administration degree at NYU. He became principal of the Center Moriches Elementary School, and eventually assumed the position as Superintendent of Schools. He devoted over three decades to serving his local community, and supporting both the teachers and students with the ultimate goal of ensuring that the best possible educational experience was being provided.
One example of this was the building of the current high school. When he retired in 1986, he was both humbled and honored to have had the elementary school named after him. Clayton had additional attributes and interests beyond education. He served as the director of Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck in the early 1960s. He was an avid golfer, and in his retirement acted as a golf ranger at Rock Hill Country Club. He loved sports, and would always be one of the first to ice skate on Kalers pond in the cold winter months. He was a die hard Yankees fan and looked forward to watching a good baseball game with his children. By far, his most favorite thing to do
was spend time with his family.
In addition to his four children he is survived by his daughters-in-law Coreen Huey and Doreen Huey, and son-in-law Thomas Johnson. His seven grandchildren Dawn and husband Jonathon Row; David Huey; Becky Huey; Lauren and husband Michael Kleban; Andrew Huey; Emily Johnson; and Sarah and husband Michael Briles. His eight great-grandchildren Skylar, Landon, Laila, Sierra, Brianna, Anderson, Carson, and Braylin.
