I am so saddened by Clyde's passing. He was a larger than life kind of man. I've known Clyde most of my life and he always remained the same--kind, loyal, smart, talented. To say that he will be dearly missed is an understatement. God bless the Tucker family. To Sis. Tucker, my prayers are with you that you find comfort, peace and strength in the Lord in the days to come. Take comfort in knowing that Clyde is resting with Jesus and we shall see him again in Heaven.
