Clyde was born Jan. 26, 1938 in Rock Island, a son of Robert O. and Jenove E. Montgomery Storbeck. He married Sharon Bang Ginther in 1988. He has two sons Chris and Bob from a previous marriage to Patricia Lane.

He graduated from Moline High School in 1956, where he played basketball and baseball. Clyde received a Bachelor's degree in business education from Bradley University, Peoria and a Master's degree in administration from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. He began his 45 years in education in Evergreen Park, Ill., where he taught and coached. Clyde returned to the Quad Cities, where he coached and taught in the Bettendorf and Moline School Districts. While with the Moline District, he taught at Moline High School, served as a dean at John Deere Junior High and was assistant principal and then principal at Wilson Middle School, retiring in 2005. He was ahead of his time, as he was a proponent of anti-bullying in the schools he served.

Clyde was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Davenport and member and past president of Oak Wood Country Club, Coal Valley. He enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren participate in sports, coaching the Moline American Legion Post 246 baseball team and loved the ocean. He spent time in Wisconsin during his youth and became a Green Bay Packers fan. Clyde was everybody's go to man and lived by his credo that "family always comes first". He was an honest, fair man, who touched so many lives, always looking out for and supporting those around him. He will be truly missed.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Sharon; sons and daughters-in-law, Chris and Joanne Storbeck, Desert Mountain, Ariz., and Bob and Rebecca Storbeck, Ventura, Iowa; daughter, Betsy Ginther, Indianapolis, Ind.; grandsons, Tanner, Thomas and Tate Storbeck, of Ventura; and brother and sister-in-law, Bob and Mary Storbeck, Georgetown, Tex.
