Clyde, also known as CD, Panther and Lockjaw, enjoyed being with his family most.  They took many camping and fishing trips together, along with many trips to see family. Clyde considered himself a Winter Texan as he and Judy spent the last 20 years at Eastgate RV Park during the winter months. During the summer, Clyde and Judy would attend the Kentuckiana Country Oprea.  He loved antique cars and showing off Judy's 1952 Mercury. He was always ready to play poker with the family and play his favorite hand, "seven card draw, roll your own".  Clyde was a content man who loved wearing flannel shirts and a hat. To honor him this Saturday, please wear your favorite flannel shirt.

His funeral will be at 11:30 am, Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Mackinaw Christian Church. Pastor Judith Guy Thomas will officiate. Visitation will be 10-11:30 am prior to the funeral. Burial will be in Mackinaw Township Cemetery with military honors accorded. Haensel-Oswald Funeral Home in Mackinaw is handling the arrangements.
