Clyde Salser Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jan. 5, 2026.
Poland-Clyde Salser, 93, passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025 surrounded by his loved ones.

Clyde was born January 26, 1932, in Ravenswood, West Virginia, the son of Clyde and Hattie King Salser.

Clyde dedicated 25 years of his working life to General Motors, retiring in 1981. Known for his strong work ethic and practical skills, he carried that same dedication into his retirement years. He found great satisfaction in yard work, tackling hands-on projects, and building model remote-controlled airplanes, a hobby that reflected both his patience and precision.

Clyde also had a deep passion for old cars, appreciating their craftsmanship and history. Whether working outdoors, in the garage, or on a detailed model, he took pride in creating, fixing and maintaining things with care.

Clyde is survived by Flossie Salser, with whom he shared 63 years of marriage; son, Mike (Maria) Salser; and daughter, Cheri Nichols; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

Besides his parents, he was preceded by death by his siblings, Betty (Salser) Kee, Joseph Salser, Larry Salser, Bob Salser, Ted Salser, Violet (Salser) Bowman, and Bud Chichester; as well as his son, Steve Salser.

Family and friends may pay their respects from 2 to 4 p.m. followed by a 4 p.m. memorial service on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at the Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Ave., Boardman.

Clyde will be remembered for his dedication to family and the pride he took in making his yard the best looking in the neighborhood. His legacy lives on through the family he loved and the many memories he leaves behind.

Family and friends are encouraged to offer prayers for the family and support via phone call, text or email or you may visit the Book of Memories at www.rossifunerals.com.

It breaks my heart to know that Clyde will no longer be my neighbor. He loved working in his yard as it was the best and neatest in on our street. I enjoyed our conversations and the knowledge he had in everything. Such an amazing friend and I will miss him terribly. He loved his sons as they were always there for him. Clyde my sweet dear friend, I will miss you terribly. Please Rest in Peace. Love youIf I could only hug you one more time. You will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends.
