June 10, 2024 at 7:58 pmI have such fond memories of uncle Clyde. He always had a welcoming smile and kind words. He gave everyone the benefit of the doubt, always encouraging us to do our best. He, with aunt Rowena, would take me to church and taught, by example, devotion to God and to duty. I always admired his caring and loving approach to his brother, Ray and his sister (my nan).
My sincere condolences to aunt Rowena, Nicole and Gillian. ❤️🙏

June 11, 2024 at 2:53 pmRowena, Nicole, Gillian and all your family,
We are so sorry to hear of Clyde’s passing. Our memories of him will be forever in our hearts. Clyde was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and a true friend. I am so happy I was honored to sit at the same table during the Stacey reunion last July. Clyde was always in good spirits, heartwarming smile, loved stories, even my (Fred’s) craziness, and always gave a warm welcome to anyone who visited.
Not only will you miss him as a husband and father, and grandfather, but the whole community was touched by his dedicated life, and commitment to his family and church. He lived his faith and served with total commitment and dedication. Just imagine all the students who were impacted by his example.
May he Rest In Peace and the good Lord bring comfort to your hearts. Sorry we can’t be with you to celebrate his life.
Love
Cousin Fred (teddy bear) and Gloria Stacey
Kinhston, Ontario
