Clyde Dew, age 92 of Norris, died following a year of declining health on Monday, September 10, 2018.  Clyde was a mechanic and small business owner and operated independent gas stations for over 40 plus years, retiring after selling Norris Service Center.  He had a knack for repairing anything with an engine, and always treated his customers fairly.
