To Jane and all the Rupert family.

I just found out about Clyde and Diane and I want to express our deepest sympathy to all the family. I grew very fond of Clyde after having worked with him for a lot of years. I was with Clyde when he played Augusta National the 2 times he played and quite often thought about him. He was a fine man and will be missed.

I remember first visiting with Mr. Rupert when my sister Debbie married his son Clyde. Through the years our family has visited with Mr. Rupert on special occasions.

What a wonderful family you have. What a great loss of such a good man. He has certainly left a legacy to his children and grandchildren.
