It is with great sadness that we are announcing the passing of Clyde E Barbour Sr. Clyde was born in Hornbeck Tenn.

You cannot forget Mimi his beloved dog. Clyde moved around a lot when he was younger, doing all kinds of jobs. At age 50 he started his own electrical business Barbour Electric.

He supported several community activities throughout the years. He was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout Master for his boys. He worked with the 4H group raising animals and coached youth baseball for his grandson. His family was very important to him. He was a 15 year Cancer Survivor. Even when going through radiation he didn't miss a day's work. His customers always came first.

One of his favorite things to do was riding his Harley. As he got older he started riding a Harley trike. He just wasn't going to quit. It was a family thing he liked to do. He rode with his son's, grandson and great granddaughter every chance he got.
