His hobbies included a love for cars, where he was particularly meticulous about detailing and cleaning them. He was a collector of cars and an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes football and basketball teams. Western movies, horses, NASCAR, and cheering on Jeff Gordon were also among his interests, especially enjoying College Football Saturdays.

Clyde created lasting memories through trips to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, moments that his family will cherish forever. His greatest pride was his family, which he loved deeply.

He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Teresa; his daughter, Angie Bosstic; his sons, Dustin (Kim) Bosstic, Brian (Jan) Davidson, Scott (Samantha) Davidson, and Nick (Cheryl) Davidson; and his daughters, DeeAnn (Mike) Evans.
