Congratulations Clyde on a successful career!

Hear hear!

Clyde is as stand-up a dude as you will ever meet. Former F4 fighter pilot (thank you for your service), professional bus driver in the sky, amateur wrench (with skills better than most pros), and the type of friend who when he hears you're going through a rough life event will use his seniority to get a flight route that brings him to your city just so he can sit and eat dinner with you.

He's talked me through procedures on my cars with a wrench in one hand and a phone in the other, and increased my confidence in doing more and more of my own garage tinkering.

Clyde has been a guest in my home (thank goodness he didn't fall off the balcony when my railings were temporarily removed), a fixture on this list, the inspiration for my favorite coffee mug, and the stern voice of reason for any Tifosi who will listen.

He may have retired from flying buses, but I don't think any of us expect for him to slow down...

Check six, buddy.
