My heart sank when I heard the news of Clyde's passing. He was such a remarkable person and an absolute pleasure to be around. Clyde was an incredible mentor to me and I'm certain to many others. I will truly miss him and his sense of humor, and offer my sincerest sympathies to the Ganes family.

It was a shock to hear about Clyde passing away. I was pretty young during my initial time with Morro Bay Rotary but Clyde was one of the people that took me under his wing and made it a great experience. Peace in your journey Clyde.

Condolences to the Ganes family
I remember Clyde from my days remodeling my mother's home at 420 Kodiak St. back in the 1980's when he was Building Inspector for the City of Morro Bay. He was always helpful with advice and suggestions on how the job should be done to City Code requirements. Always friendly and it was a pleasure to have known him
RIP Clyde
