Clyde was a perfect gentleman, who trained and bred thoroughbred horses. He traveled quite often going to many horse races over the years, and was known as the horse whisperer.

He was a sincere, gentle man who always put his family first. He loved his grandchildren dearly and enjoyed the time he had with them.
Clyde was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Paul, Floyd and Irene. He is survived by his wife, Anita of Gentry; son, Dan Henson and his wife, Kathy of Gentry; daughters, Linda Hawkins of Bella Vista and Annette Orsbun of Van Buren; eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
