I am so saddened by the loss of Clyde Bell and my thoughts and prayers go to the family. Clyde, I will forever remember the many rounds of golf we have played together and what a kind and generous man you are. RIP my friend until we meet on the other side. Hopefully there will be a golf coarse there and we both will be able to see where we hit the ball.
