Worcester, NY - WORCESTER - Clyde F. Wilcox, 64, passed away Sept. 6, 2025 at A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital, Oneonta.

He was born Sept. 28, 1960 in Cobleskill, the son of Clyde E. and Margaret (Conklin) Wilcox.

Clyde graduated from Worcester Central School and briefly attended SUNY Cobleskill. He worked as a butcher, at G & I Homes, and then was employed with National Grid starting out in tree service, then as a lineman and retired as a gas mechanic.

He married Melissa "Lisa" Warner on Aug. 27, 1983 at East Worcester United Methodist Church. She predeceased him on Jan. 23, 2019.

In his younger years, his hobbies included trapping, coon hunting, fishing, and bowling league. One of his most memorable fishing trips was when he went on a lobster boat with a bunch of his friends. Once he and Lisa married they enjoyed going on camping trips and owned different livestock throughout the years, thus them making their farm name "Y-Not Farm" because of the assortment of animals they owned/ raised at one time or another.

Clyde was a member of East Worcester Fish and Game for many years. He also was a member of the East Worcester Fire Department, most recently serving as commissioner, and Schenevus Valley Masonic Lodge No 592, where he was a past chaplain.
