Uncle Clyde you were always so much fun to be around. You played your music, told your jokes and laughed with all of us. I'll cherish those memories for a lifetime. You were there when my father, Wilmot, died telling jokes and laughing. You are going to be sadly missed by all of the Ayers family. I ask God to heal the broken hearts of Aunt Geneva, Debbie, Rhonda and Bonnie. Your family loved you so much. May you rest in peace. I thank God he allowed you to live a long life span so that your family and friends would know what a wonderful person you were. I am sure you are going to teach the angels in heaven how to do the "Bunny Hop".
