Clinton Galloway, fourth of five children, was born in Unionville, Missouri in 1935 to Clifford and Madge Galloway.

Clinton passed peacefully with family by his side at his home in Canyon Lakes, Kennewick, WA on the evening of June 11th.

Clinton met Aleene Anderson during their sophomore year of high school, married in 1954 and raised their two daughters together. He studied at Washington State University where he studied botany and large animal veterinary medicine. He became a cherry and apple farmer in Benton City, WA, where he raised his family.

He served on the board of directors for the Benton Irrigation District for many years, setting the policies and regulations for the distribution of water throughout the district.

In 1982 Clinton and Ann (Neyens) Johnstone were married. He loved Ann, beyond measure and throughout their marriage they continued to make each other laugh and celebrated their long life together. Soon after their marriage, his studies restarted with an emphasis on teaching, leading to his graduation from Eastern Washington State University. He became a teacher and he taught in California and continued his teaching career at Kamiakin High School, Kennewick, WA until his retirement.

He traveled the United States and his adventures took him to Europe, Mexico and Canada. His retirement led to many hobbies, his favorite being leather tooling, and his wallets are carried by family and friends around the world from Asia, Europe, USA, and Canada. His intricately tooled Seahawks wallets were some of his best. He was a long time Seahawks fan.

He was charming, wise, a great judge of character who found positive in most everything and everyone. Some of his favorites included being out in nature, dancing, traveling, interacting with his grandkids, and teaching his students. He enjoyed eating good food, all varieties of apples, Fujis being his favorite, cherries and peaches. He loved sipping a good brandy. He was a gentleman and an extraordinary man. He loved driving Cadillacs and loved country western music. He had a certain flare about him.

He was so proud of his children and grandchildren and his great grandchildren. Everyone, who knew him, appreciated him. He was the greatest son, dad, brother, grandfather, uncle, friend, and teacher.

He had seven grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. He is survived by his wife, Ann Galloway, daughters, Shari Jones (Shawn) and Cynthia Swain (Don), Ann's children Cheryl Haff (Stan), Richard Johnstone (Barbara), grandchildren, Kathleen Swain-Lim (Patric), Nicholas Jones (Annie), Stephanie Lingen (Carl), Lauren Hunt (Isaiah), Jared Haff (Denise), Kyle Haff (Rachel), Jim Gowdy (Melissa), along with many other family and friends.
