Clyde was born on March 8, 1934 in Doniphan, Nebraska to the late Ira and Grace (Perky) Hoops.

Clyde was a very special father, loved his daughters and sons, cherished the times with the grandchildren. He had a sweet tooth for cookies, that were also shared with family.

He was never in a hurry when he went places. He had a superb memory, remembered everyone.

Clyde was a huge Green Bay Packers fan, enjoyed following Cleveland Indians as well as his grandchildren and great grandchildren's sporting events.

It was not uncommon to pass Clyde's house and find him outside working in his garden, feeding the birds, on the Bush Hog, using the tractor or on the porch swing. You might also find him tinkering around the property or shooting the hateful ground hogs. Clyde liked to play the lottery, hoping for a big win.
