Clyde Gregory Nora

Clyde was my delightful supervisor at the U.S. Embassy in Lomé. He took a chair from my office for his; I replaced it within minutes with an identical one. We both laughed. What a surprise years later walking through State to my new office I glimpsed him in a ground floor office, lucky timing. We had a lovely long chat.

Clyde Nora, my friend and colleague, was one of the rare people who genuinely loved life and had no issue with the world or grievance against his fellow man, regardless of what they may have done or not done to him.

To Sidney and Reginald,

At this time I find myself lost for words. I was quite shocked when I learned of the death of my dear fiend. Clyde and I go back a long,long way. From Southern University, to the Fort Valley days, his trek with the State Department, and the D.C. Years. We shared in the lost of Betty and His mother as well. When I was going through some trying times, Clyde was there to give me sound advice. As, you well know, he was not one who bit his tongue, he spoke what...

To the family of Clyde Nora: Please accept our deepest sympathies in your time of sorrow. Clyde will always be remembered for his acts of kindness and great wisdom. We will never forget all that he did for those of us that he recruited into the State Department. We miss you dearly.

My sincere sympathy to the family of Clyde Nora. May you find peace and strength in the presence our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Greene and Theriot families appreciated your friendship, if only for a short period of time.

Clyde,
Just a year prior to this I was writing in this guestbook for your godson. Now you are at rest, Clyde. I hope you and him find enternal peace in the arms of the Lord for you are all now together again.
I never told you in the flesh, but I do love you, and I know we will meet again.

Thank you for being such a distinquished man, respectable, and humble.

I will live my life in your honor.

Carla Bartholomew
