Clyde was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often talked about. He was unendingly proud of his wife and children and did everything in his power to support them.
Clyde was a strong, kind, loving, father and husband. His wisdom and guidance were the foundation of his family.
Anyone who knew Clyde knew that he was the most loving father and husband a family could ask for.
