Clyde and Ted, your parents were great neighbors in Prospect. My mom enjoyed working with Ruth at the IGA and of course loved your Dad’s barbecue chicken. Prayers, they were special people. Sue Cramer Clem

I am praying for your great loss, that God will bring healing memory to your minds and hearts. I so enjoyed Clyde at the Pharmacy when he would come in. I always waited for him to say Keep Smiling. One time, I tried to beat him to the punch, which I did and he laughed and laughed. What a precious man. God bless you
