Clyde Jr Massey

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Haywood "Tony" Hansell on December 28, 2000:

He was more man than anyone else I ever met. He was more soldier than any other I ever saw. He was more valiant than any warrier I ever knew. He was the toughest, but tenderest man God ever made. As his son, Kenny, put it: You will never meet a man who can say " I may have met him, but I'm not sure". Anyone who ever met him has a blazing memory of an unforgetable man...The toughest,funiest, most loyal, most talented friend a man could have. He was my comrade and I miss him.
Funny thing about the difference between friends and comrades. I say a comrade is a friend for whom you will lay down your life. I knew I was his comrade. I hope he knew he was mine. Well done Skip. See you one of these days if I can earn it. Tony
