So sorry to hear about the loss of my Uncle. I remember all the great times when the family was here in St. Louis. He and my Dad(Paul), Clyde's brother were great men. Their legacy as great fathers and good men will live on.

Clyde was such a dear man, always ready with a riddle, dancing eyes and always smiling. He will be dearly missed and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to know him.
