Clyde was born in Arnolds Park, Iowa, Thursday, December 14, 1939, to Gilbert and Sophia Curry. He later moved to South Dakota and then on to California where he spent the majority of his life. On May 27, 1977, Clyde married Ottoma Koons in Huntington Beach, California. He and Toma left California and moved to Grimes County ten years ago to enjoy their retirement. When Clyde wasn't hunting, he could be found watching any type of sports but especially the U.S.C. Trojans or the Houston Texans.
