Clyde was the dearest, sweetest grandfather who had spunk that no one would believe. At 93, he was an amazing, aware, free spirit that everyone loved. His granddaughter and her children could not of asked for a better grandparent! I am sorry for your loss, but he is a man with a past that will live with you all for all your days and has left a memory that will never be forgotten. Enjoy all he gave, showed and instilled in you, for he was a joyful man who would want that for all of you!
