Monticello, AR Sunday, June 15, 2025 To Clyde's family and friends, I am so sorry to hear of Clyde's passing. Clyde & I went to school together. He was a month older than I & I really hate that we can't both hit that three quarters of a century mark this Fall. Clyde was a good friend. He always had a great smile & a friendly word for everyone. He will be missed.May God give you comfort, peace, and & strength as you go through this period of grief & sorrow. God bless you. ~Sherry

Monticello, AR Sunday, June 15, 2025 I never knew a happier, more loving, more devoted church going man than Mr Clyde. He was the "king of the corny jokes" and the "blesser of the potlucks", and let's not forget "the self appointed fashion police" at work. It was my privilege to get to work with him all those years. Y'all are in my prayers.Mark& Mary withers
