Uncle Clyde we will miss you and the smile you always had to give. We will always remember you calling us “Dolly” before talking to us…just like our dad. We were fortunate enough to have lived one street above you for a long time. We had many memories playing in the woods and the carnivals in Unionville :-) I think at times that was our Martin family reunion. Our hearts go out to Denise, Inga, Ronny, Tony, Michael, Keith and Amanda and ALL of their children and their children.

Love Always,

Cindy, Kathy, Theresa and Janice (Martin)
