Clyde was a man of God, serving as a deacon and church moderator in the Baptist faith for many years. He loved his church family and working in the Lord and attended Point Pleasant Lighthouse Baptist Church.
He was lifelong farmer, loved the lord and never forgot to tell his wife and children, I Love You each and every day. He cherished his wife and his grandchildren were his pride and joy. It can be said that, “Grandpa has ears that truly listen, arms that always hold, love that’s never ending and a heart that’s made of gold.” He was a generous man to anyone in need and would have given his shirt off his back if he thought you needed it. He gave everyone the same respect as the next and will be missed by all his neighbors and friends alike.
Clyde united in marriage to Dwalla Rash February 8, 1964.
