Grandpa Clyde

Grandpa Clyde passed away August 17, 2008 at the age of 98.

He fought in World War II in the Pacific.



My dad gave Grandpa Clyde this picture for Father's Day in 2006. It personifies Grandpa's life - tough, hard working and determined to get the job done. (The same could be said for you dad!). Grandpa was also a great example to us of always having a positive attitude no matter the situation.

As we drove from the chapel in Elmo to the cemetary in Orangeville our eyes were greeted by an amazing and beautiful sight. Flags lined both sides of the road leading to the cemetary.



The military tribute - something that I have never seen before was very touching and made each of us so proud for the sacrafice and service to our country Grandpa had given many years ago.

Each of Grandpa's children was presented with a flag.





The day truly was a celebration of a life well lived!
