Clyde John Lohse, 60, a lifetime Marshall County resident, passed away following an illness at 9:10 a.m. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Clyde died as he had wished, at home in the company and care of his loving family. For the past 31 years, Clyde has made his home in rural Argos.

He graduated from Plymouth High School with the Class of 1971. There he was a member of the track team.
On August 31, 1983 in Plymouth, Clyde took as his bride the former Barbara D. Perkins. Clyde began a 30-year career in the fiberglass tub industry with the Corl Corporation in Bremen, which became Bremenglas and now a part of Maxx Midwest. He was a proficient mechanical robotics operator.
Clyde was an avid outdoorsman. He loved fishing, duck and especially deer hunting and enjoyed sharing that time with his family that started with his father and brothers, his daughter Micah and now his eldest grandson, Gabreal for the past three seasons.
