Leona, I am Nick Hubertus's son. I am sorry I missed the visitation, I only heard of it on Sunday. My memories of Clyde are of a very wonderful man. I think of him from time to time and I always remember the Christmas when I was maybe 10 and Clyde gave me a nicely wrapped present of a toy truck. It was so thoughtful and I still remember that. There are so many memories of being at the station with my father and Clyde seeing them working together side by side and never but the best of a fond relationship. I remember maybe 15 years ago I arranged to take Clyde , my brother Dick and a mutual friend Steve Mugerauer on a boat ride to Winneconne. We went to the Finn and Feather and ate and boy did the memories and stories flow. It seems from reading the obit that he and you and many fine years together and I can not think of people who deserve it more. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Best always, John Hubertus.
