I am very sorry to here of Clyde's passing. I worked with Clyde at HP in the late 1970s in the machine shop. He and friend Tony Gallo were was very helpful to a young kid (21) just learning the ropes. We enjoyed the laughs and lunch time cribbage games. I know it has been a struggle. I was out of the country and missed the service. May Clyde rest in peace. Dave Marquis

Condolences from the entire McGonigle clan.
We were all at a wedding on Saturday when we heard the news. We were all able to share our favorite 'Clyde' memory. Somehow it seems that the whist games can now be more complete with Clyde sitting in at the table. Can't you just imagine the reunion of Charlie, Hammie, Nat, Dan, Leo and Spike???
Our heartfelt sympathies go to all the Brooks family.
