inventory of the parts department and 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.
