formed the company of Alltronic Distributing Co., Inc. He operated this business until 1969, when
he decided to sell out and retire from business.

Clyde lived his Masonry from the day he received his Degrees. There is no doubt that he had
Masonry in his heart long before he applied to become a Mason. He was raised a Master Mason in
Oriental Lodge No. 74, on December 17, 1945, serving that Lodge as Worshipful Master in 1953.
He was Deputy of the Grand Master in 1955-1957, and held several Grand Lodge appointments
until he was rightfully recognized and elected Junior Grand Warden in 1971. He was elected Grand
Master in 1974.

Outside of the Lodge, Clyde loved to relax by bowling with his Brethren. He bowled on the Shrine
League Team, which became a close-knit group. They had great times together. When bowling
season was over, the team enjoyed great fellowship at the family home on Deer Lake. The Brethren
told of Clyde always taking his pickup into the woods to cut firewood. Each time he went he would
load his truck and each time he got it stuck, which caused more work. One year the team got their
heads together and purchased a toy Toyota 4x4 with remote control and presented it to him so he
wouldn't get stuck again.

Masonry and the Grand Jurisdiction of Washington, in particular, have lost a dedicated and
beloved Brother with the passing of M⸫W⸫ Brother Clyde B. Mix, on April 20, 2001, at the age
of 97 years.
