He served in the Navy during WW2, attaining the rank of second class radioman aboard Subchaser, SC-1368. Clyde led the rescue of seven stranded sailors who abandoned the sunken USS Southern Seas, PY-32, during Typhoon Louise at Okinawa's Buckner Bay, October 9, 1945, swimming through the surf with a line to retrieve them from a small island. He kept in touch with his remaining navy buddies through the years.

Clyde was in the missiles and space program for 35 years at Chance-Vought Aircraft, now Lockheed-Martin. When he retired in 1986, he was marketing manager on Oahu. After retiring, Clyde and Trude enjoyed traveling to Europe, Australia, and Israel, the Philippines and Singapore. They saw much of the United States and Canada in their motorhome, finally settling in Stanwood in 2000. Clyde was a member of St Cecilia Catholic Church in Stanwood.
