Martene, Mike, and Pat, Sorry to hear of Clyde's passing. I have so many good memories of your family and of Clyde. Watching him at his HAM radio, just being a good neighbor and great man. Daddy always talked so highly of him. You are all in our prayers and thoughts.

Mrs Martene. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr Clyde was such a dear man and probably the best friend my daddy ever had. I know they are both having a great time of catch up in heaven. I will be praying for you and your family as you face the coming days.
Larry Stanley left a message on February 11, 2011:
To Martine, Pat and Mike, I would like to extend my sincerest condolances in your loss. My fondest memory of Clyde, in addition to the association with ham radio, is when he and I made the pre-trip to St. Pete Florida in preparation for the band trip to the Festival of states in 1970. His love and suppport for his family and church was always evident in his life and I came to know, on this trip, how a truly christian man lives. I join you in celebrating his life and memory. There are a few people that we meet on our life's journey that we can truly say make us better for having known. Clyde Gandy was certainly one of those people in my life.

To the Gandy Family, I feel Your pain, cause I have been there. I remember when my Mother&Daddy moved to Carter Street next door to Yall, back in the 50's, Clyde was the one that got my Mother & Daddy going to Temple Baptist Church, and not long after that my Daddy got saved.Clyde was a Fine Christian Man,and showed it in life, ever since I have known Him.If Clyde Gandy is not in Heaven, then there is not a Heaven. He never called me anything but Robert. I use to when I was a kid, like to hear Him, talk on His Ham Radio. So Long K5ABB, until We meet again.Remember Sunset in one Land, Is Sunrise in Another. Will be Praying for Yall.I am not going to say, sorry for Your loss, because something is not lost, if You know where it is. We know where Clyde Gandy is.

We are saddened at Clyde's passing but take comfort in knowing he's enjoying eternal peace with his Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. We remember well the times that Clyde would lead us in prayer before we dined at the Bramlett family reunions. Clyde was prayful man. We express our sincere condolences to Martene, Mike and Pat and all of their family.

My will there ever be a twinkling star in our skies now-it will be that mischievous twinkle that Clyde had in those dark brown eyes. Loved you Clyde-admired you for the Christian man you were. Our prayers are with all the family at this time.Martene-Mike-Pat, just know you all are in our thoughts during this time-but Clyde is resting now and he is saying-we'll all be together in my now lovely home by and by.
