It is with great sadness that the family of the late Clyde M. King announce his passing on Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 at Western Memorial Regional Hospital at the age of 64 years.
Clyde was an avid hockey fan and player, passionately following his Montreal Canadiens. He loved nature and spent countless hours walking, hunting and fishing. An excellent and proud family man, his love for sports, music and animals were passed on to his children and four grandsons. A loving husband, he fought a valiant battle against illness to spend as much time as possible with the love of his life. His family learned love, strength and honor from his teachings, and he will be sorely missed.
