Prior to living in Princeton, Randal lived and worked in the Charleston/Dunbar area. He was a former car salesman and his hobbies were, NASCAR, drag racing, but his real passion was his Harley Davidson motorcycles. Randal was a member of the Ghost Riders Motorcycle Club, and attended The Bridge and while attending one of the services, he gave his heart to the Lord. Survivors include his wife of 28 years; Marlene Ann Misel Clay; Three children: Shawn Price, Elizabeth Watkins & Jennifer Seanze; Two step-children: Cynthia Shaddox & Douglas Johnson.

Shrader and Berlon leading a group of riders leading Randy 'Otis' Clay to his resting place.
I'm sure Otis was in heaven yelling at the hearst driver to speed up and pass Shrader and Berlon.

Very moving and appropriate service for Otis.

From what I heard during the services I'm sure he wanted to pass them. Eddy Day from the Bridge in Princeton did a great job of helping everyone celebrate Randy's life. Shrader did a fantastic job telling some nice stories about the jokester side of Randy. It was moving to see and meet his friends and see how much he was a part of their lives. 



RIP Brother

RIP Otis. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, He was a great guy and a true friend!

I would like to thank everyone for the condolences, pictures and kind words everyone has posted on this site.  It has been heartwarming for me to read them and to know how much Randy was liked. He had not been well for quite a while but he never gave up.  Such a trooper!  The day before he passed, he said he wanted to ride the V Rod since the weather was nice.  He went to the truck to get his drivers license and came back in the garage and had to sit down to catch his breath.  Of course I was telling him he was not well enough to be riding.  As usual, he didn't listen to me. He said it wouldn't be too stressful and off he went.  Later that evening we attended a dinner at the Ghost Riders Club House and we had a good time.  Then the next morning he was still having breathing problems and agreed to go to the emergency room by ambulance.  The hospital is just a few minutes away and by the time we got there, blood work and EKG was done and he died almost immediately.  I was with him and everything happened so fast. 

Special thanks to Shrader, Miss Susan, Berlon, Kenny & Francine.  It's comforting to have such good friends.  I have met a few of the CVO group and was hoping to attend one of the gatherings so I could meet more, but with 3 dogs it was hard to get away together especially with Fred (the mean one)!   

Thanks again for everything.  I know Randy loved being part of the CVO group.

I met Otis at my first GTG in the Valley.  He was the first person to welcome me and I will never forget his kindness.  Rest in peace Otis.  You will be missed.

Mrs. Otis,

This is Ken, who Otis bought the V-Rod from. I met ya'll somewhere in Ky when he got it.

My heartfelt condolences. Otis was a great guy and fun to be around. He'll be missed by all of us.

Just saw this post. Have been away for awhile and not reading the board.

I only knew Otis through a couple of phone call and PMs, bought some items off of him. Always read his posts. I know he will be greatly missed by those who knew him

RIP Otis,

I'm trying to remember.......OTIS and Derek went to Daytona with me 2 years in a row.  I think it was 2010 & 2011.  I still had that Champagne colored Duramax, because one year he Trailered his and Derek's Bikes with it, and the next year he Trailered them with that white Dually of mine. The first trip, Derek had that flat-black Fat Bob, and the next year he had the Skunk.  OTIS also took that SE V-Rod of Kennie's, one year.  That picture was taken at Harry's house.  Harry & Michelle treated us all to a meal fit for a King, that night.  Steaks 3" thick!!!  Then, we went to "Main Street."  A night me and Harry won't soon forget!  But I won't go there.  Lol.  I miss Ol' OTIS.  He made me laugh!  Later--HUBBARD

Hub,

It was the year of the Skunk.   I vividly remember almost being arrested for putting the key in it in Daytona and then riding it home in 40 degrees temps with a wind breaker on I-4.  Then sat outside freezing while you made the 11 stop ride home hahaha.    Bubble blowing comes to mind.
