Clyde George Bliss

Clyde was born on September 30, 1930 to Claude and Edna (Eldred) Bliss in Oneonta, NY while raising their family at the family farm in Hartwick, NY.

Clyde was predeceased by both of his parents and his sisters Mable, Bev and Ginny, his newborn twins; Judy Mae and Joanne Ann as well as his 1st wife and friend, Barbara (Tubbs) Bliss. One of his biggest losses throughout his 95 years was losing his longtime companion and best friend of 50 years, Barbara Calabrese in 2022.

He is survived by his brother Keith and his children Linda (Michael) Carley, Michael (Vicky) Bliss, and Kim Bliss-Carey as well as his grandchildren Jessica (Steve), Michael (Tiffiney), Michelle, Tyah (Jeff), Ashley, Cody, Lyndsay (Dylan), Brandy (Dan),Tyler (Heather), Mackenzie as well as several great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Clyde drove tractor trailers for well over 50 years, mainly within the dairy industry traveling all over the United States. He thoroughly enjoyed being with all 5 generations of his family sharing stories and making people laugh. He enjoyed camping, BBQs, family gatherings and showing off his dance moves. One of his biggest joys throughout his years was riding motorcycles starting with his 1941 Indian moving on to many others over his years of riding. Clyde was loved by everyone that he crossed paths with, many looking up to him as a father figure that he gladly took under his wing and others that he assisted and mentored within the AA program over the years.

One of Pops favorite stories to tell was his adventure with a 500 pound pink woodpecker - if you know, you know!

No services are scheduled at this time.

The graveside service and burial of Clyde and Barb as well as a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
