Clyde was a great neighbor and friend. He was always willing help us and always had a great smile. He could fix anything and was always willing to lend his advice and a hand. We always loved his stories. He will be missed.
We had so much fun at the trap clubs. He is up in heaven shooting trap with Ronnie. He always was happy and I will miss him. Jean if you need to talk just call me. My prayers go out to you and your family.
My uncle Clyde loved his “country western”music and was a big tease-especially to his nieces, but we loved him for it. He will be greatly missed by his whole family and may he Rest In Peace.
Jean and family… I would like to convey my condolences during this time of your loss… It can only make it easier knowing friends and caring loved ones are there for you…
My Condolences to family and friends.
Condolences to the Knapp family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
