Godfrey Funk and his wife Patty are practically landmarks in Clermont, having lived in the same house on Main Street for 63 years, almost all their married lives. The street also is Ga. 284, which once was U.S. 129, the main route north to the mountains. The traffic isn’t as bad since they rerouted 129 around town, but still traffic is about the only negative Funk can think of about living on a small town’s Main Street.
