Clyde was a wonderful man and a good buddy with lots of great stories. I'll always remember his stories and his yodeling with a smile. He loved his family and spoke of them often. God Bless Him! He'll always be remembered as one of the "good old guys" that I knew. (And I do hope his wish comes true - he often talked of having the bagpipes played at his funeral.)
