Odell (Bill) Claxton, a long time resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, went to be with the Lord on March 3, 2007.

Mr. Claxton was born to Hughie and Annie Claxton on January 13, 1920 in Jones County, Texas.

Mr. Claxton worked for Stevens, Mallory, Pearl and Campbell Architects as their Lead Architectural Inspector from 1962 until his retirement in 1992. He was a vital participant in the major growth of Albuquerque and New Mexico.

Odell took his 50 years of construction experiences and wrote a book to help others who are interested in this field.
