Clyde loved playing baseball with his younger brother Earnest Ray. His love for baseball drove him to form his own team, The Independence Green Socks. The Forest Inn, the business of his eldest sister Ocie and Big Man, was the happening place to be. Boy, they were a team to beat! A good game of domino’s was another great love of his. Clyde would often take his youngest child 9 or 10 at that time, to play in tournaments, which they would win from time to time. People were amazed at the talent and winning of the game.

He worked for Central Freight Liner for 20 years. After working at Grant Prideco twice, he then retired.
