Your mom and dad are two of the nicest people I have ever met! They were so kindhearted and generous. They were a warm loving couple. I always enjoyed our talks together.
Your dad had some great adventures in his lifetime! I think of all of you every time I drive by the family home.
I had a typing class with your sister Tonia and when we would take a timed typing test I would stop just to watch her fly on the typewriter! She was amazing to watch!
They will all be remembered always.

The picture is perfect. my brother Jack (1927-2022) and I were friends with Clyde and his sister Dolores when Clyde, Jack and I were at Clark College (1947-1949). I had a crush on him, but alas he had a crush on someone else. We lived in the neighborhood where his parents had a gas station. (I believe Clyde's mom and dad had been bikers in their younger days.)
The last time I saw Clyde, Jack & Philippa and I were going to the reunion of VHS Class 1946 at at one of the old officers' quarters in Fort Vancouver. As we were about to get out of the car, a motorcycle pulled up beside us. It was Clyde, on his way home from Alaska. He traveled solo after Billie's death. But I'm sure that anywhere he went, he soon had friends.
A lovely guy.

Sending light and love to you- both your Father and Mother were such warm hearted, fun and inspiring folks to so many-both in education and as friends. My parents cherished the friendship they had through the years--lucky were all of us to be in their circle. I saw your father (Clyde) at the Lincoln Retiree luncheon a couple of years back and it was like old times watching him and my father (James Kinghorn) together. The two of them had a special bond that is hard to find. I know he was this way with many, many people--which made him the wonderful man/husband/father and friend to so many. I always remember the motorcycle ride across the US that they took-we were so amazed at this--they lived and their memory lives on! LOVE to you.

Nice, I loved your mom and dad so much. Tonia and I were friends since 3rd grade. I miss you all and am so sorry for all your losses through the years.

My life was blessed by Clyde Warner from an early age. Our family moved in across the street from Clyde, Billie, Tonia and Nici when Nici and I were just little girls. Clyde and Billie opened their home to me (and others) when we needed a listening ear, a hug or a trip to the beach. I can remember when Clyde let me ride a dirt bike in the front of their house. When I drove it into his prized car, I was waiting for him to yell or scream at me (not that he ever had but I felt like I deserved it). But no, he made sure I was ok and I never heard another thing about it. That was the kind of man he was.

He was someone I have always looked up to. He showed me what a father and husband should look like and he was the kind of friend and neighbor who would drop anything in order to help you. He also had the most sensitive spirit. When Billie passed away, he took it upon himself to continue to send me birthday and anniversary cards. How many men do that?! That´s the kind of man he was.

And I wasn't the only one in my family who looked up to and respected Clyde. My brother, Robert, made Athlete of the Year when my dad was stationed overseas. Without hesitation, Clyde accompanied Robert to the banquet. That´s the kind of man he was.

And there was the reaction my sister Jackie had about Clyde. She admitted years later that she had a crush on him when she was in middle school. Yes, he was quite attractive, along with being in shape and kind. That´s the kind of man he was.

I can´t even begin to tell you the sweet relationship my brother, Tim, had with Clyde. They had a bond that was so special. Clyde modeled what it looked like to be a father and a friend and Tim grew to be the man he is, in many ways, because of Clyde. That´s the kind of man he was.

Clyde was a great example to so many of us about living a life worth living. After talking with Clyde or reading his Christmas card, I would joke, "I hope I have the energy he has when I get to be his age." But it wasn´t just his energy, it was his joy of living, the adventures and the friendships that he worked hard at maintaining. He spent his time and energy on the things and people who mattered. That´s the kind of man he was.

Thank you Clyde for all you´ve taught me and how you´ve enriched my life. So blessed to see those same qualities in Nici. Because of you, that´s the kind of woman she is!
