Very sorry for your loss. I remember Clyne as the Drum Major with the Lawrence High School Marching Band when I was a sophomore in the band. Mr. Kassinger was our band instructor.

Clyne was a good friend and confidant through the many years I lived in Topeka. He was also my 'go to' car guy and provided us many terrific value vehicles during that time. You mention in the 'obit' that he was a 'Rock'. Yep.... that pretty well sums it up. Rest in peace friend.

Clyne and I had great times together at KU as fraternity brothers in the '60s. He was among the most entertaining people I ever knew. We remained friends, and I will miss him.
