Clyde, a man of enduring dedication and gentle passions, left a legacy of hard work and natural beauty. His green thumb was legendary, particularly his meticulous care of his daylily bed, a vibrant testament to his love for gardening. For an impressive 60 years, he served the automotive industry, culminating in the establishment of his own successful business, Clyde's Auto Parts in Poplaville. A lifelong member of the Landmark Missionary Baptist faith, he recently found a spiritual home at Enon Landmark Missionary Baptist Church. When not engaged in work or worship, he sought solace in the tranquility of nature, pursuing his passions for hunting and fishing.
