Mrs Midkiff,
I met Clyde when I started working for MEC in 1965. He was a great guy and friend. Even though we worked in different locations, (I was in headguarters; Chase City and he was in Gretna) we still got to work together during bad weather and got to see each other when he came to headquarters for meetings. He was a really great friend. I am so sorry for your loss. And mine also. My family sends our love and sympathy to you and have you in our prayers.

Clyde will always be a memory of my childhood. I would visit him when I stayed with Mrs. Eunice Simpson. He always had a kind word to say to me and he would sometimes bring me little "treats". Then as I grew older, I would always see him at any function in the town. He was a great citizen for our community. I will always remeber Clyde teasing me about my little red MGB. He said that my muffler was so loud that I would wake him up when I went to work in the early morning at Dairy Queen in the summers. He will be greatly missed by the town of Gretna!
