| 1302 | Chattanooga Daily Times, Tennessee, Thursday, 2 January 1925 Carrol Bass Meets Death Beneath Car Pinned Under Machine in a Ditch Near Ringgold Victim is Believed to have Drowned Coroner of Catoosa Believes Young Man Had Released Sterring Wheel to Ligh Cigarette. Carrol Bass, 26, widely known young man about town, and son of former Sheriff Robert P. Bass, was drowned in a ditch on the Dixie highway, two and one-half miles east of Ringgold, Ga., early yesterday afternoon when the automobile he was driving left the road, overturned and pinned him beneath it. According to the opinions of the coroner of Catoosa county, who was called to the scene, and Lee Hancock, coroner of Hamilton county, who made the trip on Wann?s ambulance to return the body to Chattanooga, none of the several small bruises found on the body was sufficient to have caused death, and but for the fact that Bass was pinned face downward in the two inches of muddy water in the ditch he would not have suffered any great in jury as a result of the accident. Just how the accident occurred is a matter of speculation. Although members of the family of Sam E. Denman, in front of whose home the machine left the road, saw the car slide off the embankment and turn over, none of the witnesses was able to explain why the machine left the roadway. Bass was alone, driving south, and was traveling at a moderate rate of speed. He had just passed a heavier machine, necessarily pulling to one side to allow it to pass, but had not apparently lost control of his own machine, but was seemingly pulling back into the road when his car veered and following the side of the ditch for about ten feet, toppled over. From the fact that there was found near the overturned car an open package of cigarettes the Georgia coroner formed the theory that Bass had removed his hands from the steering wheel to take a smoke and that he died not notice that his car was leaving the road until too late. The machine turned completely over, the ditch being nearly twenty feet deep and very narrow at this point, throwing Bass out of the seat. He fell into the ditch and the running board of the machine crashed down across his shoulders and neck, pinning him securely with his face jammed deep into the muddy bottom of the trench, through which trickled a stream of water little more than two inches deep. Coroner Hancock last night expressed the belief that Bass was probably dazed by his fall from the car and that death came before he regained control of his faculties. The first breath, the coroner believes, filled the lungs with the muddy water, and Bass died without a struggle. Mr. Denman, who was at home at the time of the accident, made a vain attempt to extricate Bass from under the car, but was unable to do so alone. He called assistance, but was too late. It is Mr. Denman?s opinion that Bass was dead by the time he reached him. Bass is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. R.P. Bass, three brothers, Orville, Robert and Roy, all of this city, Mrs. J.W. Eckerly, Spartansburg, S.C., is his sister and another sister resides in Brooklyn, N.Y. Mrs. Eckerly is already in Chattanooga, having spent the holidays here. Funeral services will be held from Wann?s Friday morning at 10:30, the Rev. Battle McLester officiating. Interment will be in Forest Hills cemetery. Pallbearers will be Joe Pariiadiso, James Harrington, hays Clark, Luke Pogue, Herman Pursley and Mike Costello. | Bass, Carroll (I7060)

| 1306 | Chattanooga.gov Edward David Bass Lived March 28, 187 ? March 12, 1960 Elected mayor in 1927, Edward David Bass became only the second mayor to have been born in Chattanooga. Unlike the other, Hugh Whiteside, Bass?s family was not a family of great wealth. Orphaned at the age of eleven, Bass left school to begin work along the production line at the D.M. Stewart Manufacturing Plant. By 1900, Bass had saved enough money to follow in his father?s footsteps and open a grocery on the corner of Main Street and Central Avenue. In 1906, as a group of businessmen formed the Highland Park Business League and searched for a candidate to run for the Hamilton County Court; Bass agreed to be a candidate. Upon winning the seat, Bass sold his grocery store and dedicated his life to public service. In 1911, as Mayor T.C. Thompson led the campaign to change the city government to the commission format, Bass ran for the state senate. As a Senator, Bass helped pass the legislature that allowed Chattanooga to change its city government structure. After his senate term, Bass returned to Chattanooga and served as Commissioner of Streets and Sewers for three terms. During his service as a commissioner, Bass attended the University of Chattanooga?s Law School and passed the bar at the age of forty-six. Upon the resignation of Mayor Chambliss in 1923, Bass?s fellow Commissioners elected him mayor. However, state politics kept Bass from accepting the position. In 1923, as Governor Austin Peay prepared to appoint Mayor Chambliss to the Tennessee Supreme Court, he was pressured to not appoint Chambliss if it meant that Bass would become mayor in Chattanooga. Governor Peay then asked Bass to promise that, if elected, he would not serve. Bass did as the Governor asked. The motivation for this political action appears to have been pressure from the statewide Ku Klux Klan, who promised to have Chambliss? appointment blocked if Bass was to step up to the position of mayor in Chattanooga. During his last term as Commissioner of Streets and Sewers, Bass performed an act that may be the one he is most remembered for; he extended Broad Street past Ninth Street (today, Martin Luther King Boulevard.) At the time, Broad Street ended at Ninth Street where a row of brick buildings sat upon the southern side of Ninth Street across from Broad Street. The warehouses, owned by the state of Georgia, sat empty, and Bass worked for many years to negotiate the purchase of the buildings so that Broad Street could be opened to the south. Georgia officials continually refused to sell the buildings. On May 6, 1926, a Friday night, without consulting the Mayor, city attorney or other commissioners, Commissioner Bass led a large crew of street department workers in descending upon the buildings and tore them down. Beginning this mission around 6:00 pm, Bass drove the first car through the opened buildings around midnight. According to news accounts, word of the escapade spread quickly, and the streets filled with citizens cheering Bass and his workmen. The Elks Club Band, said to be practicing nearby, appeared and played the song ?Marching through Georgia.? By Monday morning, the length of Broad Street was extended. The state of Georgia sought immediate action against the city, but the Supreme Court ruled that a state?s sovereignty ended at the state line. The following Saturday, Commissioner Bass and his crew began the destruction of buildings that blocked Broad Street at Eleventh. At the end of his project, Commissioner Bass had successfully opened Broad Street south to link with Whiteside Street (which ran from Lookout Mountain to Twelfth Street.) Today, Whiteside Street is known as South Broad Street. In 1927, the city of Chattanooga elected Bass as mayor and re-elected him for the next five terms. Mayor Bass led the city through many events, including the nation?s Great Depression. Upon his retirement in 1947, Bass said he took great pride in the fact that, during the Depression, Chattanooga was one of the few cities able to meet its debts without issuing city script. At the time, Bass noted that not only did Chattanooga pay all its debt but continued to pay all of its city employees without raising the tax rate. In 1929, Mayor Bass oversaw the annexation of many of Chattanooga?s suburbs including St. Elmo, Missionary Ridge, Alton Park, North Chattanooga, Brainerd and Riverview. These annexations doubled the size of Chattanooga. In a press conference on June 17, 1946, Bass announced that he would not seek re-election the following year but would complete his term even though his doctors had asked him to resign from office due to health problems. On January 10, 1947, three months before his term ended, Bass?s health forced him to resign. Tennessee and Tennesseans Edward D. Bass Engaged in the insurance business in the city of his Chattanooga, the place of his nativity, Senator Bass is known as one of the leading and representative citizens of Hamilton county and is also serving as a member of the state senate from the 8th district. Edward David Bass was bor in Chattanooga on the 28th of March, 1876, and is a son of Captain James A. and Anne (Dill) Bass, the former of whom was born in Georgia, a representative of an old and honored family of that state, and the latter of whom was bor in Barbour county, Alabama, a daughter of Robert Dill. Captain James A. Bass was a valiant solider of the Confederacy in the Civil war, in which he served as captain of a cavalry company recruited in Barbour county, Alabama, and known as the Barbour Greys. He commanded his company in many important engagements and continued in active service until the close of the war. Soon afterward he came to Tennessee and established his home in Chattanooga, in which city he was a representative merchant for many years. He here continued his business activities until his death, in 1886, at the age of fity-three years. He was a man of sterling character and ever commanded unqualified popular confidence and esteem. He was a Democrat in his political proclivities and both he and his wife held membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mrs. Bass long survived her honored husband and was summoned to eternal rest in 1900, at the age of fity-six years. Four children survive her and all are residents of Chattanooga, the subject of this review having been the third in order of birth. To the public schools of his native state, Senator Bass is indebted for his earlier educational advantages, and later he was a student for two years in the National Normal University, at Lebanon, Ohio. After leaving this institution he served for five years as an assistant to the county engineer of Hamilton county and within this period he aided in much important civil engineering work in this native county. Thereafter he was identified with the mercantile business in Chattanooga for a period of about five years. In 1906 Senator Bass was elected to the bench of the county court of Hamilton county, and he thereupon disposed of his mercantile business and entered upon the discharge of his judicial duties. He gave a most able administration on the bench and his service in this judicial office covered a period of six years, his retirement from the bench having occurred in September, 1912. Senator Bas has been one of the most active and influential workers in the ranks of the Democratic party in his state and has been a promiment factor in its councils as well as in the maneuvering of its campaign forces. In 1910 he was elected to the state senate, as representative of the 8th senatorial district, comprising the county of Hamilton, and in the upper house of the legislature he has been a most zealous and valued worker in behalf of his constituency and the state at large. He was re-elected in 1912, and this was a fitting recognition of his exellenet service as well as a distinct evidence of his personal popularity in his district. In the first term in the senate he was a potent force in furthering a large amount of important legislation for the benefit of his home city and district, and it was mainly due to his able championshiop that the legislature enacted th bill which gave to Chattanooga its commission system of municipal governemtn, this city having been the first in Tennessee to adopt this form of government, and having also been one of thest in the entire Union. The senator has been selected by the state tax commission and did introduce in the legislature bills providing for the revision of the state tax laws. In 1908 Senator Bass had the active management of the campaign of Hon. M.R. Patterson, the Democratic candidate for governor of Tennessee, in Hamilton county. This proved one of the most spirited and bitter gubernatorial contests in the history of the state, and the effective work of Senator Bass was the most influential force in bringning about the election of Governer Patterson. He served as election commissioner of Hamilton county in 1907-8, was chairman of the Hamilton county road commission in 1911-12, and has served on various other important committees and commissions of localized functions. For several years past Senator Bass has given much attention to the real-estate business, in connection with which he has erected amny residences in Chattanooga and otherwise contributed to the material upbuilding of the city. He is interested principal in the South Chattanooga Land Company, the Bass Land Company and other local concerns of important order, and in the gernal real-estate business he is now associated with Sam. A. Conner, under the firm name of Bass & Conner, his partner having been sheriff of Hamilton county in 1910. He is an active and valued member of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce and is in full accord with the high civic ideals and effective work of this institution. He is also identified with the Commercial Club and is affiliated with the local organizations of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. On the 19th of April, 1895, was solemnized the marriage of Senator Bass to Miss Hassie Brooks, of Chattanooga, and they have two children, Denton and Edna. | Bass, Edward Denton (or David) (I49949)

| 1325 | Claiborne Parish Biographies John K. Barrow John K. Barrow, merchant and farmer, Homer, La. Mr. Barrow is only another of the many prominent citizens of Claiborne Parish, La., who owe their nativity to Alabama, He was born in Chambers County on March 18, 1848, but grew to manhood in Claiborne Parish, whither he had moved with his parents in 1857. He received a common-school education and then flung aside his books to enter the army, serving about four mouths in the latter part of the war. He then went on a farm with his father and took charge of the same until the death of the latter. He remained on the farm until after the death of the mother, and was married here in October, 1879, to Miss Sallie W. Barnett, a native of Louisiana, Claiborne Parish, and the daughter of William Barnett. After this union Mr. Barrow and family remained on the homestead up to 1888, when they moved to their present property. He still owns the old homestead and has about 1,700 acres in both farms, 700 acres improved. He has excellent buildings and good orchards on both places. He built a store and embarked in merchandising in the fall of 1889, and carries a stock of dry goods, groceries, etc. He has a good trade and is a successful business man. Located near his store he has a steam saw mill and gin. To his marriage have been born three living children: Aubyin W., Ida M. and John G. They lost two children in infancy.

| 1326 | Clarence Joseph Bessette 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles 1 April 1890 B.C. ~ 5 June 1916 France "I have a small bit of shrapnel that struck the trench quite close to my head. One shell, a six-inch one, went through the parapet and landed right between Speechly's feet, but it too failed to explode. All the boys were not so fortunate, however..." Clarence J. Bessette 10 Dec. 1915 "INTERESTING LETTER FROM THE TRENCHES" "Lumby Man Gives a Graphic Account of Life on the Firing Line." The news is permitted this week through the courtesy of Miss Marjorie Christien of Lumby to publish the following letter recently received from Clarence J. Bessette of that place, who is a member of "A" Squadron of the Second C. M. R. He writes: December 10, 1915 Miss Marjorie Christien Lumby, B.C. Dear Friend:--- Excuse me if this letter is badly written as I am writing sitting on some straw with a box as a desk: besides, my pencil is just about two inches long. However, though writing under difficulties, I will try to write a long letter as I have much to speak of to you. In the Trenches As it will just be about New Year's when you receive this letter, I will begin by wishing you a prosperous New Year. I received all your letters and also those from Aldea and others. Your last one came to me on the day we went into the trenches for the second time, and I have not had an opportunity too write to you until now. Many interesting things happened in the trenches this time. I will try to tell you everything as it happened. After leaving the trenches last time, we spent about six weeks, on working parties. We were billeted near a nice little town about seven miles back of the firing line; one of the few places along the front that has not been blown to bits by the Germans. We would walk about three miles everyday over the most wretched roads, sometimes in a downpour of rain. When it rains here it is generally accompanied by a cold penetrating wind. I think it was with pleasure we heard we were to have a few days in the trenches. We moved on a Sunday night from our billets to a place about three miles closer to the front line into reserve. On Friday night we moved up to the front line. It was a tramp of some three miles and a half by the road, but unfortunately for us we found that the Germans were shelling the road, so we had to go by a longer way, over a wretched trail, over a steep hill. As I was carrying a very heavy pack, you may judge that it did not improve my temper any. Besides, I had just got over an attack of grippe. We arrived eventually at the front lines without any incident of importance. All was quiet along the lines, and we soon were shipshape. It was raining a little and misty. That night I stood guard with another chap. We took spells of two hour shifts through the night, so you may judge we had not much sleep. In fact, you do not get much sleep in the trenches, one has to steal it between his various duties. When you consider that we do our own cooking, having to travel a considerable distance for water, and to rustle our own wood besides, you may judge we are busy. At night, of course, we take our spells on guard. An Inferno of Noise Our first day in the trenches was not very eventful, until about one o'clock in the afternoon, except that my troop sergeant, Sergt. McBane, was wounded in the foot by a stray bullet about ten minutes after arriving in the trenches. Pete Catt knows him I think. About eleven o'clock a.m. I had a cup of tea, and crawled into my dug-out to have some sleep. I was awakened about two hours later by a very inferno of noise. Word had been passed down the line in the morning that we were to lay low that afternoon as a big bombardment of the German lines was to take place. But it appears they started the show. Inside of a dugout is about the last place in the world to be in a bombardment, so you may be sure I wasted no time in vacating mine. We went through one of the severest bombardments that afternoon, which our line in that part had suffered for nearly three months. It is heartbreaking to suffer, because you must sit down and pretend to like it, hoping your artillery is giving them the same dose. Time and again, shells landed quite close to my bay, covering me in a shower of mud and rubbish, but fortunately we escaped serious damage on our part. Two six- inch shells struck the parapet right in front of me, but luckily they both failed to explode, otherwise you would not have heard from me except on the casualty lists. I have a small bit of shrapnel that struck the trench quite close to my head. One shell, a six-inch one, went through the parapet and landed right between Speechly's feet [Lorine's Note: I believe this is Thomas Speechly from B.C. who also enlisted in the 2nd CMR on 8 Dec. 1914. See notes below], but it too failed to explode. All the boys were not so fortunate, however, as one shell landing on the parapet further up the line exploded, killing one and wounding six. Two of the Coldstream boys were in that lot, Malcolm and Malan K. They are both suffering from shock. The bombardment lasted about three hours, and in that time they put about 350 shells in our part. But I tell you, we have the satisfaction of knowing that the Germans got as much and more back. The most serious losses from the bombardment were in the 3rd C. M. R. They lost over fifty wounded and killed that day, including a Major, a Captain and one Lieutenant. "B" squadron was not in the trenches, so they missed the fun. After the bombardment the remainder of the time in the front line was very quiet. A Ticklish Position On the second night I was put on listening post. That, I think is the most wretched duty in the trenches. You are on duty for one hour and off two. Your duty is to take up station at a spot about sixty yards in front of your own trench and lying flat on the ground to listen for every sound. You must keep keenly alert the whole time and report any suspicious movements of the enemy. The night I was on duty it was raining, and most miserable. We had to lie down right in a mud hole with the rain pouring down on us. There was a large party of Germans working about seventy yards away. We could hear them quite plainly. Of course, we reported it when were were relieved, but as the message was lost or not properly carried forward, the O.C. never received it. In the morning we found that the Germans had built a strong barricade across an important road. You may be sure there was the devil to pay then. As we were not to blame however, we did not get into trouble. I tell you, you have to be wide awake to put anything over on the Germans. The night after I was on listening post we were relieved and went into the support trenches. I was fortunate enough to be put on guard over ammunition, and still more fortunate in being billeted in an observation station. While there I witnessed a splendid piece of work by our artillery. The observation officer spotted two transports of the Germans moving along a piece of road. Of course, our artillery opened on them. The first shot landed about thirty yards in front of them. The second landed right under the leading transport; horses, wagon, driver and all were lifted into the air. I think I saw a thing there, which I am not likely to have another opportunity to witness during the rest of the war. We have since been moved back again, into reserve now, and may be out of the trenches for a few days. At present, we are doing night work parties. I think that is about all there is to tell, except that wer are all well, I saw "Nick" just after receiving your first letter. Also, Walter, Jacobe is still in the same troop with me. I don't think I need anything at present; tobacco of course is always welcome. Mitts and sox are always useful too. Give my best regards to everyone and wish them all a Happy New Year. Good-bye Your friend C. J. Bessette | Bessette, Clarence Joseph (I19595)

Sue was born on April 30, 1942 in Springfield Massachusetts to her parents Ethan and Sarah 'Sally' Bassett. On August 7th, 1971, Sue married George William 'Bill' Ianni of Rutland VT. Sue retired from Tambrands in Rutland VT and the Price Chopper in West Rutland VT. Sue then went onto work at her absolute favorite job, at the former Country Quilts and Fabrics in Mendon VT. It allowed her to blossom and pursue her passion for quilting. For nearly two decades, Sue was a very active member of the Maple Leaf Quilters of Rutland County. She held positions as a Membership Co-Chair and Chair of the Sunshine Fund. Sue left a great legacy and made hundreds of quilts in her lifetime sharing with family members, friends, newborns, Quilts for Valor, women?s shelters, babies born with addictions, and supported many local community raffles. Sue's unlimited creativity encompassed a wide variety of sewing abilities with interests in knitting, crocheting and needlepoint. The quilts and other countless treasures showcased her creativity and artistic gifts she received from her mother and the design capabilities inherited from her engineer father. Sue loved sharing her knowledge and teaching eager students of all ages. The lovely quilts and other handmade items will be cherished through the succeeding generations. Sue loved traveling with family and friends. She was such a cheerful, independent woman, who carried a strong compassion to help others and was a friend to all who knew her.

| 1334 | Clock Funeral Home ? Muskegon ? 10 July 2025 Bonnie Kalene Bassett The Detroit Tigers lost one of their biggest fans when Bonnie Kalene Bassett, age 84, passed away Wednesday, July 9, 2025 due to complications from a recent fall. Bonnie struggled to make a late inning comeback but knew that it was time to pull herself out of the game. She touched all the bases and slid safely into home with her three children by her side, and her canine teammate Sparky Harwell waiting at the plate. Bonnie was born in Toledo, OH on October 19, 1940 to William & Marie (Gust) Munroe, graduated from Whitehall High School and married Robert Bassett on September 5, 1958. After her children were born she returned to Grand Valley State College where she earned her bachelors and masters degree in teaching. She had been employed at St. Mary's Catholic School and then as a 6th grade teacher for Reeths Puffer Schools for 33 years. She was a dedicated teacher and a loving devoted friend, mother, grand and great grandmother. She poured her heart into her career and made emotional connections with each and every student. "Your mom was my favorite teacher", became the phrase that her family was accustomed to hearing while growing up, and still hear it to this day. No sacrifice was ever too great for her own family, so her children couldn't have had a better role model. Those who knew her will remember her as "the lady with the crazy sense of humor".....often in life's toughest situations. They will remember a die-hard Tigers fan, even in the darkest days. She was a speed demon on a snowmobile, and a book worm too. Her atomic finger jello was legendary! She was the mom who attended every sporting or school event for her kids and grandkids. She was that emotional teacher who cried with her students and had a hug for everyone who needed one. She was the ring leader of weekly tubing trips every summer. She loved horseback riding and had a fascination with Native American History. Every student who went through the Reeths Puffer 6th grade camp program made a dream catcher in her class (and many still have it), but most importantly, they went home with a greater appreciation for native cultures. She also spent many years as an aqua exercise instructor at the YFCA, and volunteered at the Frauenthal theater. She was often known to be a lead-foot driver, spinning donuts and drifting her full size conversion van in the snow just for fun. Her zest for life, endless compassion, and sense of humor made her a role model for all things decent, and she still was teaching how to live, laugh and love, until her final breath. And though she could no longer see the games she faithfully listened to the Tigers, even in her final days. She will be dearly missed by family and friends but her teachings will forever live within us. In the World Series of life, Bonnie Bassett hit a game winning Grand Slam. SURVIVORS Children, Mike (Gina) Bassett of Ohio, Michele (Bill) Groethe of Trout Lake, Steve (Marianne) Bassett of Muskegon; grandchildren, Jessica (Owen) Chase, Jarrett Bassett, Cole Bassett; great-grandchildren, Marina & Brennan, as well as brother, Bill Munroe, and pets Cookie & Sparky Harwell. She was preceded in death by her husband Robert in 2024 and a brother Ronald Munroe. Special mention also needs to be made of Bonnie's fabulous "care crew". They were thoughtful, loving, compassionate, entertaining, and genuinely made Bonnie's life better every day. Bonnie supported many charities such as food banks, women's shelters, pet rescue and adoption agencies, etc. True to her character, rather than material gestures of her remembrance, Bonnie would rather have a charitable donation made in her name to help someone in need. Please join friends and family in celebrating the life of Bonnie Bassett. Detroit Tigers gear is always in style, and please bring your best Bonnie stories to share. Saturday, August 2nd from 3:00-6:00 PM at the Don Rae Post VFW, 1061 Witham Rd., North Muskegon. Please visit www.clockfuneralhome.com to leave a memory or sign the online guestbook. | Munroe, Bonnie Kalene (I14700)

Clyde passed away on July 12, with family by his bedside. His Hospice family were also a great support. He was a very accomplished gentleman and lived a fulfilling life. From attending a one-room schoolhouse in Oklahoma to his college days his education continued. He attended several colleges: the University of Oklahoma (BA), NYU(MA); UCLA and finally earning his Doctorate from the University of Wisconsin. Next came the military in Korea. He was a 1st lieutenant in the Army Artillery and served honorably. Some of his stories as a forward observer on the front were frightening! His career was quite extended. He taught theatre in several colleges-Lesley College, SUNY at Brockport, NY, Loughborough University in England and by far his favorite-Central Connecticut State University for many years. His future led him from theatre productions to teaching excited students with dreams of Broadway. He himself acted in many plays, local and in Regional Theatre. He loved doing Shakespeare plays! Theatre was his passion along with constantly reading new literature-5 books per week. His activities were many. The Big one was the First Company Governor?s Horse Guards in Avon, CT. He was active for 30 years as an active member and as a retired one. He made close, forever friends there. ??Lots of parading and military events-plus plenty of riding time. Also, he was in the Granby Horse Council for many years, the president for 2 years. Trail riding was one of his favorite things to do, even in winter. Lots of time there with his equestrian friends. Family just made him glow with love and pride. He has left quite a legacy behind him. His wife, Joyce: best friend, lover, travel companion, problem solver and best buddy. Many happy days were shared. He was predeceased by his first wife, Millicent Bassett, who he loved along with their children. She was also in his thoughts throughout his life. Now more family: William Bassett, son. The only boy, and William was so loved by his dad unconditionally. He could make his dad laugh. Carolyn, daughter, always someone he loved to talk with on the phone, and her husband Mark Brownawell and their son Max Brownawell (our artist) and his partner Matt. Christine Bassett-Jellema, daughter, and her wife Alice(deceased): they both brought so much love and laughter to Clyde?s life, especially Alice?s bear hugs! Christine and her former husband John brought 3 children into this world. John Moore, son, and his sweet and kind wife Kristen, then Jordan Moore, son, and his wife Leah (both talented musicians) and their 2 beautiful girls, Lyla and Lucy and then daughter Jasmine and her husband David Peters (great hands on parents full of love). Faye, Violet and Everett are just beautiful children. Joyce?s family also were Clyde?s family too. Daughter Kristen and her husband Luke Alibozek (Dad of the year) and their 2 children Teddy and Ella (never ending fun and love), son Bryan Bakevich and his dear wife Jennifer (lovers of nature and music) and son John and his wife Caitlin(a total love) and 5 year old Julian(a smile to melt your heart) With such a blended family, in-laws, out-laws and everyone in between, Clyde will be remembered with laughter and a warm fondness in our hearts. Break a leg Clyde?? Clyde?s family will receive friends on Saturday August 1, 2026 from 4-5PM at the Hayes-Huling & Carmon Funeral Home, 364 Salmon Brook Street, Granby, CT 06035.
