He graduated from Wilson High School in Fishersville, VA and later went on to Warren Wilson Junior College in Asheville, NC. There he met Jewell, the love of his life. They married in October 1958, shortly after Clyde enlisted in the United States Army where he would proudly serve his country for the next few years. In the coming years he would be blessed with two daughters as well as become a school teacher that taught both academic subjects and music. Music was a big part of his life as he played various instruments and sang in and led various church choirs.
