Clyde Hobson Dilley

Clyde Hobson Dilley passed away on April 15, 2022. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer. Clyde was born in Modesto, California in 1939. His parents, Guy and Ruth Dilley, had a small farm near Ripon, California which specialized in almonds. Clyde became interested in photography and eventually obtained a Ph.D. in that field from the University of New Mexico. Degree in hand, he was able to become a professor of that subject at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Retiring early, he dedicated his free time to the genealogy of the Dilley family. That included extensive research both here in the U.S. as well as in Great Britain. He also was a great fan of the outdoors. In fact, a local nature conservancy called The Arc of Appalachia will be the primary beneficiary of his estate. His two brothers, Robert and Paul, still live in California.
