Sorry to hear of Clyde passing. Even though it's a year later for some reason I decided to check online for old friends that I made while serving in the USAF stationed while at PAFB. And I thought of Clyde, well "Grandpa" Clyde is was I use to tease him with. He was so full of knowledge and just a gentleman but dear lord don't upset him.Of course as with the military I got reassigned to VAFB, I went back to Colorado for a short vacation and well Clyde offered me stay with him and his wife Barbra he got so worried when I decided to stay at the motel off base away because I didn't want to bother them so late,He made sure I knew next time just to show up no matter what time it was.Sadly I didn't get to make up that way again. It's been 22 years since I left Colorado. And I will always remember "Clyde B. Lewis" for his humor, pride, knowledge and most of all that pipe he always puffed on. It was an honor just knowing him. Farewell my friend Kerrie A. Shaffer aka "Blue Hawaiian"
