CLYDE LEWIS MARTIN It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Clyde Lewis Martin on Thursday, August 14, 2014 at the Grace Hospital at the age of 78 years.

On August 15, 1935 Clyde was born in Point Aux Gaul, Newfoundland. He joined the military at age 17. He worked as an Aero Engine Tech, and then worked at Boeing for 13 years. Clyde enjoyed fishing and gardening. He also loved feeding the animals in the backyard, watching the Toronto Blue Jays and curling. He was an avid handyman and also had a great sense of humour. Clyde also enjoyed spending time at the lake with Barbara and their two dogs Tass and Bandit. He enjoyed many a fish fry and we are still trying to figure out the recipe. For the last 12 years Clyde and Barbara enjoyed going on cruises. A private Service has been held. Donations in Clyde’s memory to the Siloam Mission, 300 Princess Street, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1M3 would be greatly appreciated.
