Clyde surely shared his brother Lance’s gift to gab and could surely hold a conversation with just about anyone. He loved the outdoors and working on equipment, trucks, etc. with his son, Clinton. Working before the sun came up until after the sun went down was nothing but ordinary and in his blood.
