Thinking of you my long time friend and remembering all the good times we had. 
Me and you and all our friends Myron, Steve, Howard, and Danny going out to eat on Friday nights. As the years passed me and you and your wife Sandy just hanging out at your house. And as more years passed me and you just solving all the worlds problems with a phone call. Miss you my friend.

Clyde my best friend, I truly miss you. We had some great conversations, those last couple of years. You’ll be happy to know I stay in touch with Ron and Darren.You and Sandy raised two wonderful kids.  I think about you and miss talking with you.

Dear Brother Your Memory Will Never Fade
by Unknown Author

My dear Brother now that you are gone
You're no longer here to share
The bond we had together
A bond of love and care.
Yet, somehow something tells me
You are watching over me -
Now that from Worldly cares
You finally are free.
I miss you so very much,
And my tears I cannot hide
Yet, within my heart, I feel
You are always by my side.
Ever since you sent away
Life has never been the same
Yet, it comforts me to know
That one day we'll meet again.

There is no other like my brother. I can't believe your gone. I thought you would be here my whole life. I may not have reached out to you often but I knew you were always there for me and me for you. I miss you my big brother.  We sure had fun growing up. I have such fond memories of you throwing me out of your room and throwing my shoes at me. It seemed to be a daily occurrence but I saw your hidden smile. Every Christmas you would come and get me up. We would sneak down the stairs to see what Santa had left before we woke mom and dad up. We would play cowboys, ride our bikes, play cards and board games and baseball. We all went on vacation to the Jersey Shore or visited other states. I always looked up to you and couldn't wait to grow up to be just like you. RIP my dear brother. We will meet again.   

Mas and I were so sad to hear of our dear friend Clyde’s passing.  We shared so many good times and made so many happy memories with Sandy and Clyde.  We had adventures  in Monument Valley, Tucson, Tombstone, Sedona, Las Vegas, Prescott, Phoenix, and also spent happy times just relaxing at their lovely home.  Clyde shared my love of Elvis and recorded 6 CDs for me - over 100 Elvis recordings!  He was a quiet man, but had a quick and quirky sense of humor.  We had many laughs together.  Our deepest condolences go out to Ron and Darren.  You are both a tribute to what a wonderful father Clyde was.  He was exceedingly proud of both of you.  RIP Clyde.  We know you and Sandy are in Heaven so please save a spot for Mas and I so that we can continue our adventures when we join you.

I have so many fond memories of Clyde. We first met and became friends in the early 1960's. I was his best man at his wedding in 1967. Clyde was one of those people that everyone liked, he is the original good guy. I spent many a Thanksgiving and Christmases with Clyde and Sandy and later Ron and Darren. When my wife passed away in 2010 and after Sandy passed away, Clyde and I spoke just about every week. We talked about our wives and our teenage years. In 2018 I went out to Arizona and spent a few days with Clyde, I was looking forward to go out again. The last time I spoke with Clyde was February 12, 2021. I will miss him forever. I am blessed to have had him in my life.The only disagreement we ever had, he was an Elvis guy and I'm a Sinatra guy 
Rest in Peace  my dear dear friend

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy Bonnie & boys!  Your distant cousins,  Lynn Draugelis Wetzel & Shirley Davies Draugelis

Although we lost touch for many years, I'd known Clyde since our college days at Temple University since the mid-  to late-1960s. We briefly reconnected a few years ago thanks to a mutual friend.  Clyde  was one of the nicest, gentlest, most easy-going guys I've ever known, possessed of intelligence, sensitivity, and a superb sense of humor. I'm sure he was a great and loving parent and grandparent. His passing will leave unfillable holes in the hearts of his family and friends who share in his sons' sadness.

As young, when Elvis Presley became popular, we loved when Butch would impersonate Elvis.  He would have the guitar, shake his legs and make facial expressions as Elvis did while playing his songs in the background.  He often thanked someone using Elvis’ quote “Thank you, thank you very much!” And he said it with an Elvis like voice.  

We enjoyed playing Monopoly when he would visit us.  He was always the banker.  He was always a winner, buying up all the properties.  I guess we should not have been surprised when he went into banking.  LOL.

Before peanut butter swirl ice cream came out, he would whip his own peanut butter in vanilla ice cream.

Butch was always a fun, up-beat person to be around.  He always left you feeling good.  

When we visited he and Sandy, they took us out to dinner.  They also picked us up at our resort and drove us to Sedona to show us around.

Thanks Butchie, for all the good times.  Thank you, thank you very much!  

May God bless you as you Rest In Peace with Sandy, the love of your life.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️
