Clyde was my brother in law by marriage to my sister Cheyenne (Becky Vessell) at the time. I knew him very well and loved him dearly. We shared our love of Alabama Football and just things from the 70's in general. I was at their marriage in the early 70's. My sister and 2 other couples were married on Monte Sano Mountain.
I think at first I was a real 13 year old "pain in the butt" to Clyde but we grew to love one another, him giving me the nickname "Wahoo" as we grew to know one another. I miss him very much. And even though we had not seen him for many years, I have pictures of him at my early kid's birthday parties and they remember him and miss him too. They have asked about him everyday since we left Bama seems like. I only knew that he lived in Athens, but could never reach him. 
RIP buddy...Godspeed and I will always be "Wahoo" in my mind when I think of you. <3 <3 <3

A golden heart stopped beating, while ours is breaking💔 Hug Larry and Brenda and my Mama and Daddy for me...we will be there for and support and love June.. Rabbit dance with Brenda until my turn...always in our hearts. .
