Clyde enjoyed being in the ministry at least two times a week and telling others about Jehovah. He had strong faith and up to the day he passed was confident in the resurrection hope. He served as an elder in the congregation for many faithful years. Clyde thoroughly enjoyed all of his public speaking assignments and traveling to other local congregations. He read and studied the Bible every day. He was always ready and willing to give practical help to others, loved to associate with people, took an avid interest in others, and had a good sense of humor. Clyde set an excellent example as a husband and father. In his spare time, he enjoyed working in the yard, cutting grass, gardening and other home projects . He also enjoyed diamond painting and putting puzzles together. Clyde also had a strong love of ice cream, it didn't matter what kind.
