Clyde Elton Bringman, 85, of Lewiston, died Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020, in Lewiston.

Clyde was born Oct. 3, 1934, in Weippe to Lester Clyde Bringman and Manda Lee Jordan. He attended school through eighth grade and was a roller hockey goalie for Skateland in his youth. After his dad's death, he moved a lot. He settled in Lewiston, working various jobs until going to work for Potlatch Forests Inc. in 1963, where he worked until retirement.

He married Sylvia Alice Payton on July 9, 1956, in Asotin. Clyde enjoyed woodworking, leathercraft, drawing, painting and spending time with family and friends. In 1976, he moved the family to the homestead at Lenore, where he maintained residence until his health forced him into Lewiston Transitional Care of Cascadia.
