My deepest sympathy to the family I did not hear about the sad passing of Clyde till now my my sister sent me the obituary I live in Kentucky. I had a lot of good memories from Clyde he taught me how to sharpen the case knives how to skin a muskrat and as we worked in the Fur house he listened to the blues hockey. I enjoyed his company so much that I drove to the Fur house browse from new bayton after working a shift at the mine just for the company.
