Clyde was born April 25th, 1921 in Richfield, Minnesota, later moving to Glendale, Ca. where he graduated from Hoover High School in 1939. Clyde signed up with the U.S. Navy in 1942 and served as an Aviation Machinist Mate for the remainder of WWII. After his discharge from Naval Service in 1946 he attended The University of Southern California earning a degree in Chemical Engineering. While attending USC he met his wife of 62 years, Frances Tomlinson (Whittier, CA). He started his career at Standard Oil (El Segundo), then working for Farr Filtration (El Segundo), retiring in 1984 to start a computer consulting business. He enjoyed woodworking, building and flying model airplanes, computer programming and driving around the scenic Palos Verdes Peninsula. A dedicated husband, wonderful father and grandfather, Clyde loved his family.
