Clyde graduated from Hermantown High School, and enlisted in the US Army, serving in an engineer battalion in Europe. Upon returning home, he met and married the love of his life, Bernice Swanson.

He is preceded in death by; his parents; and beloved golden retriever Sandy, the best dog ever.
Clyde is survived by; loving wife of 60 years, Bernice; daughter Diane Ellison, son Alan (April) Erikson; sister Joyce Esselstrom; six grandchildren; friends Bob Noldin and Pat Snidarich; extended family and friends.
