Obituary of Clyde Wolcott
Please share a memory of Clyde to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Clyde Frank Wolcott of Cambria went to be with the Lord on December 19, 2011. Born in Lockport on June 28, 1935, he was the son of Horace Ivy and Dorothy Ann (Fix) Wolcott. Clyde attended Lockport schools and Erie Technical College and served in the Army during peacetime.
Clyde was an operating engineer who started his own business, C.F. Wolcott Excavating in 1970. In 2006, after 48 years of excellent work, he retired and two of his sons continue in the same type of work. .
Clyde was an outgoing, friendly man who was always willing to help. In the early years, he promoted boxing in Lockport. He volunteered to be a super hero-"The Masked Marvel"- at the Exchange Circus. Clyde was a great family man; a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend who coached baseball in Lockport and Cambria for many years. The first Sunday of the month, he would make his own spaghetti sauce for all his family and friends to enjoy. Clyde was an active member of the Masons and First Presbyterian Church of which he served as a deacon. Clyde himself enjoyed flying, camping and old cars. He is loved and will surely be missed.
