Clayton J. Beach, born in Berlin, New Hampshire in 1933, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2026, at Clifton Springs Hospital, surrounded by the love of his family.

Clayton was a proud Navy veteran and a hardworking, dedicated man who spent 40 years with the United States Postal Service and over 30 years with Walmart. He was known for his strong work ethic, but even more for his kind heart and genuine love of people. Clayton had a gift for conversation—he never missed an opportunity to stop, talk, and truly listen, making everyone he met feel valued and heard.

He found joy in life’s simple pleasures: fishing, tending to his garden, playing cribbage and euchre, and savoring a good cup of coffee. These quiet moments reflected the warmth and steadiness that defined him.

Clayton was predeceased by his beloved son, Timothy Beach, brother Wallace Beach, sister Jackie Martell, and his son-in-law Edward Gorall.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Geraldine; his children, Clayton Beach Jr. (Antonia), Robert Beach, Tweety Caruso (Gary), Cindy Rambert (Ted), Pam Gorall, and Gina Marie; as well as 11 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. He is also survived by his brother-in-law, Michael DeCarlo (Linda), along with many nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.

Clayton’s legacy is one of kindness, dedication, and connection. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Friends may call Wednesday April 1, from 2-4 PM at Fuller Funeral Home, Inc. 190 Buffalo St. Canandaigua. A 4 PM funeral service will follow at the funeral home. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in honor of his youngest son, Timothy.
