Clyde was a heck of a guy and an unselfish contributor to the Sound Cyclists Bike Club.
I remember the many fun and interesting rides that he led. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Clyde.

Clyde had an enduring impact on the community through his leadership of the Sound Cyclists, an organization that has been very important to me and thousands of others. Clyde's volunteer work at Sound Cyclists has left a positive legacy that will encourage future generations to experence the beauty of Southern Connecticut through cycling. Thank you Clyde.
