One thought on “Clyde H. “Red” Nale”
Red will be remembered as a great friend and loving father. As brother-in-law of his son, Randy, I’ve know him for many years and have greatly admired him for his devotion to God, to his family, his community and his country. This quiet, dignified man will be fondly remembered by all of us for a long time.
Hi, I am LInda Ponegalek, I have never meet Red but have heard enough about him since I am Maddy and Mathew’s grandmother. They have enjoyed the bikes rides to his house along with just the walks th visit him. He said they were his joy but they also the joy them along with my daughter Megan and son in law Mike. He will be sadly missed. Rest In Peace Red
