I hate to hear that. I many times turn over to the Lebanon station to hear how they are doing after our game. My condolences to the family and friends.

OMG, I have commented MANY MANY times how much I admire this guy. I would rather listen to his play by play than any other radio guy in the region or for that matter the state. Prayers are with his family and know that he provided this old Oakland fan many hrs of pleasure and entertainment!

Clyde was the only media person in Lebanon that I had any respect for or care anything about....he was truely the only "Voice of the Blue Devils". He will be missed by many people.

I'll miss Clyde. Everytime we played at Lebanon, he made sure I got all I wanted to eat in the hospitality room. It was always fun hanging out with him at the District tournaments. He enjoyed his play by play duties and loved the Blue Devils. He was very well-liked and respected by his fellow District 7aaa radio play by play announcers. Going to Lebanon just won't be the same now.
