Our Deepest Sympathy to the family. We will always remember Clyde for his kindness he gave our mother, Myrtle VanBuren Davids.
Clyde was a good friend of my mothers and was so good to her! He would take her for dinner and a lot of rides, which she loved! What a wonderful person he was and will be missed by his friends and family! His family are in are thoughts and prayers. Linda and Larry Rice and Families
Our deepest sympathies to your whole family and all of ClydeGÇÖs loved ones. Our family loved GÇ£Mr CooperGÇ¥ so much and could not have been blessed with a better, more helpful, wise and kindhearted neighbor. We loved visiting with him, hearing his many stories. He often had our driveway plowed before we were even up for school/work on winter mornings! He will be deeply missed. We are certain he is delighted to be riding his tractor and fishing up in Heaven though! Love, the McGuire Family
