Clifton was born January 28, 1941, in Charleston, South Carolina, son of the late Wilson H. Orvin and the late Clara H. Orvin. As a graduate of Newberry College, he later was a Vice President of Underwriting at South Atlantic Life Insurance Company. He was a member of the Lions Club, Optimist Club, and the Hibernian Society. He will be remembered as an honorable, trustworthy, man of his word. He faithfully loved the Lord and his family. He led worship at St. Philip's Anglican church on Wednesday evening services for twenty plus years. His family says they wouldn’t be who they are today if it wasn’t for his guidance, influence, unconditional love, and contagious joy.  They made great memories together with hunting, fishing, music and especially Christmas.
