On August 22, 1953, he married Rosemary (Didrick) Dorsten, who passed away on August 25, 2011. He is survived by sons, Marty (Dianne) Dorsten of Port Royal, South Carolina, and Bill (Vicki) Dorsten of Xenia; four grandchildren, Nakia Dorsten of Chicago, Lindsay (Kevan) Duke of Waynesville, Chris (Katie) Dorsten of Centerville, and Jason (Mandy) Beaver of Miamisburg; seven great-grandchildren, Valentine Gelata, Kherington and Colbie Duke, Honour and Zion Dorsten, and Weston and Sadie Beaver; and sister-in-law, Joyce Dorsten.

Clyde was a loving husband, an Army veteran, a dedicated employee, a wonderful father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and a member of St. Brigid Catholic Church. He was a founding booster volunteer at Carroll High School where he served as the facility maintenance director until retirement. He never knew a stranger and was always the first to lend a helping hand.
