Clyde Vernon Poll, age 86, of Holland, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, following a heart-related condition.
Clyde was born January 23, 1935, to Henry and Jennie Poll and grew up in Holland. In October of 1956, he married his high school sweetheart, Ethel Jager, who preceded him in death in 2010 after 54 years of marriage. While raising his family, camping adventures were many and the home was a place of faith, love, and laughter. Clyde was a skilled mechanic and enjoyed restoring antique cars and scooters, building creations out of erector sets, and puttering around in his workshop. Clyde worked for many years at Holland Transplanter Company. Over the years he did much touring in antique cars, visited many car shows and flea markets, and was an avid collector of toy trucks, trains, and whatever caught his interest. Spending winters in Zephyrhills, Florida brought much joy. In 2016, Clyde married Dorothy Russcher and they shared many happy times together. Clyde was a man of faith and a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. He leaves behind many cherished memories.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife Ethel; and grandsons, Thomas and Curtis Johnson.
