Each month I would call my Uncle. I remember shareing with him,pictures of the BIG pumpkins my brother Ron and I were growing last yr I did send him some photos.He was impressed how Big they were,and even asked question about growing them that big. I shared about getting 2nd place in a pumpkin weigh off in Oct.The pumkin was a combined effort with my brother Ron.

The last time I spoke with Uncle Clyde it was a few weeks back. My sister in law got a scare that something had happened to him. Finally, he called back. He was the same calm Uncle that I know. He reassured me that he was just fine.I was crying tears of happiness. I shared my love for Jesus and how I remember Grandma B crying when she prayed because of her deep and abiding love she had for Christ. I have no doubt where he is. I am thankful for a Godly Uncle who never faltered... I will miss him. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to my Donovan family. Lovingly your cousin Karen

Some eighty-four years ago a fellow named Clyde was born. He grew up in the teaching of his parents, pastors, and the admonition of the Lord.

Clyde married my dad's younger sister Rachel which made him my uncle. Without a doubt he was a living testimony for the value of a life lived for Christ.

Uncle Clyde was not disillusioned by the pursuits of the flesh or worldly pursuits.

Uncle Clyde is a standard barer and a testament of the Christ filled life.

He and his presence is a great loss, and will be missed, but only for a time.

My desire is that if we don't see you in the air, we see you there.
