This note was posted among the Cedarhurst group: Clyde was Mr. Dependable. He never missed a Saturday taking care of the pool. He mightily stirred up the dust during his hurricane mowing sessions. Clyde could always be approached when you needed help and he would always say Yes to your request.
Bottom line Clyde was a great friend! I will dearly miss him!
