Clyde J. Drees

I met Clyde in person only once but we were both in facilities management so I had numerous conversations with him on the phone. I worked in the Phoenix office and Clyde always had time to help me with whatever problem I might bring. Clyde cared about me, my work and the company and though we rarely saw each other face to face I considered him one of my best friends.

My sincere condolences.

Although I've been away from RI for many years now, I never forgot about Clyde. Never again have I experienced such a well stocked and organized supply cabinet. I don't get to have Dilly days or all staff cookouts. No one gives me their ripe bananas. And I haven't yet found a coworker who can appreciate swapping VW stories. Aside from all that, he was a good man. He'll be greatly missed.

My thoughts go out to his family for their loss.

Peace,

Clyde made me smile and laugh everyday I worked at RI/TNS -- I loved being around him. He enjoyed work and his spirit was contagious. He touched many lives with his positive, get it done, attitude. He freely shared his opinions -- which was always fun. I’m truly blessed to have had Clyde as my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. Jean

I remember as a 10 year old...Uncle Clyde gave me a new baseball glove for my birthday...since U.C. was left-handed...he gave me a glove for the right hand. (I throw with my right hand.) I used it for quite a while. I would catch with it...take it off...and throw with my right hand. The kids would joke about my "wrong glove"...but I didn't mind. Thank you Uncle!
Miss you. GUY

Oh, a great man is gone. Clyde made my day regularly whether when I was visiting the MSP office or whether I was at my desk in CT. My thoughts are with all of his many loved ones...it was impossible not to love Clyde!

My heart and prayers go out to you! I had three and a half wonderful working years with Clyde. I couldn't have picked a better man to work with and I'm proud to call him my friend. Please know that you and your family are in my heart and prayers.

Clyde has gone on ahead of the rest of us and I look forward to a joyous reunion some day. It was a pleasure to work with Clyde for many years. Now that I work at home, I still carry out the "Dilly of a Day" tradition. Miss you, ya hunyuk!
