Clyde A. Moll

Clyde A. Moll, born March 31, 1920, died Dec. 24, 2011.

He was a resident of Burlingame.

Born to the late Bill and Ann Moll, Clyde grew up in San Francisco and was a proud Buccaneer alumnus of Balboa High School. He also graduated from Gallagher Marsh Business School, where he met his wife of nearly 63 years, Helen, who passed away in 2004. After he returned from his Army service during World War II in 1946, they moved to Burlingame and he began his career in the corporate offices of Western Pacific Railroad in San Francisco. He retired as the supervising buyer after 40 years with the railroad.

Clyde is survived by his daughter Sandra Moll and her husband Rick Holden of San Jose and their son Robert Holden of Sebastopol; his nephew Jim Molinari, who he raised as a son, and his wife Charlotte of Cupertino, and their daughter Jamie and her husband Tim Pearson, currently residing in Taiwan; his brother Bill Moll of Oroville and several nieces and nephews. His son Tommy and his brother Harvey preceded him in death.

Clyde will be remembered as a kind, sweet, generous man who always had a happy, positive, fun-loving attitude and great sense of humor. He was a member of the San Mateo Elks Lodge No. 1112 for more than 55 years and SIRS No. 118 for 30 years. His greatest pleasure was having a good time with family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Elks Lodge Feb. 4. Please contact the family for further information. Memorial donations can be made to any charity of choice.
