Clyde Leroy Corbett

Clyde Leroy Corbett, 77, of Carolina, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 19, 2023 at Avalon Nursing Home, Warwick.  He was the loving husband of Susan Anne (Kuna) Corbett and together they shared 45 years of marriage.  Born in Hermosa Beach, CA on September 19, 1945, he was the son of the late Daniel Albert and Leona (Walker) Corbett.   

Clyde had many different jobs throughout his life some very interesting.  Clyde was a movie stunt man in Cheyenne Social Club with James Stewart and Henry Fonda, played on the Dodgers baseball farm team, corpsman in the US Navy Reserves, worked at Leviton manufacturing, owned and operated the Box Car Dinner in Westerly RI, worked as a master cook and then a bellman at Foxwoods Resort and Casino for 18 years before retiring. Clyde loved his family more than anything, Clyde’s favorite pass times were fishing especially with his grandson Andrew, driving around and listening to music with his granddaughter Jenna Rose, and playing pool. He always looked forward to family reunions in Denville New Jersey and going out to eat with his best friend Paul Melo. Clyde dedicated his time to the Knights of Columbus and the Legion of Mary. He had a passion for animals especially horses and dogs. Our late dogs Abby, Rosie, and Katie knew him as the treat man. Clyde was a giving man that made friends wherever he went.  He loved to color pictures for everyone at Avalon Nursing Home to brighten their day.  

Besides his loving wife Susan, he leaves his daughter Nicole Ohneck and her husband Paul Ohneck; grandchildren, Cheyenne Babbit, Sierra Armendariz, Andrew Ohneck, Jenna Rose Ohneck; great-grandchildren Skylar Grace Ohneck, River Armendariz; many nieces and nephews; family friend David Erickson and best friend Paul Melo.  He was preceded in death by a son Roy Daniel Corbett and a granddaughter Kylie Anne Corbett.
