Clyde worked for General Dynamics in Lima, Ohio assembling army tanks and installing ammo racks. He served as a Baptist lay minister and loved sharing the Gospel with those around him. Throughout his life he took and enjoyed many missions trips to Africa. He was a member of First Baptist Church in Napoleon, Ohio.
He enjoyed nature, camping, fishing, singing, dancing and listening to old classic country music loud on his record player. Clyde had a song for everything and his quick wit brought about many jokes that always had his friends and family laughing. His greatest joy in life came from the time he spent with his family that he adored and whom adored him just as much in return.
