Dear Irene, I am so sorry.

Clyde was a dear man and I know how much he meant to you and your family. So many fond memories of time spent with you and Clyde, eating and talking. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a story to share. I feel honored to have known him.

Thinking of you always.

To the family of the Turner's I have known each one since early teenage years, all except Judy who came along later, with a pretty smile. Clyde, was a treasure to know. As we all became college bound, our lives separated and we all went different ways, however we all knew we would always be friends forever in life. I am happy to have talked with Clyde, had a short visit with him, and realize he had not change, he still questioned me about my profession, what my ideas were, and how was my health, and indicated how he loved my mother. That was Clyde, he now has completed His mention here , May he RIP. Mr and Mrs Turner thank you for giving and sharing Clyde to Brooklyn NY.
