He was born Dec. 22, 1927, in New Enterprise; son of the late Thomas I. and Abi (Hitechew) Claycomb. On Jan. 12, 1946, in Cumberland, Md., he was united in marriage to Betty R. (Swartz) Claycomb; she preceded him in death Nov. 8, 2012.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty; brothers, Stanley, Eugene (Tom), and Robert Claycomb; and sisters, Dorothy Reighard and Martha Bush.
Clyde served his country as a member of the United States Navy during World War II and was a life-long dairy farmer by trade. He was a member of the St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Martinsburg and enjoyed restoring antique Ford vehicles as well as local and family history. Clyde’s word and handshake was his bond!

The family would like to thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for his loving presence and care of Clyde. He provided Clyde with three wonderful caregivers, Elisha, Joann, and Kathy and the best spiritual care and healthcare from the team at UPMC Bedford Hospice.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Clyde’s name may be given to UPMC Bedford Hospice or the Potter Creek Lutheran Church.
