J. Clyde Burkholder, 90, of Mountville, joined his Lord and was reunited in heaven with his wife and son on Thursday afternoon, May 13, 2021 at Lancaster General Hospital after a very brief illness. Born in Clay Twp., he was the son of the late John H. and Mary Wenger Burkholder. He was the husband of Anna Ruth Becker Burkholder for 59 years prior to her passing in 2012.
Clyde possessed an engaging personality with whoever he met. A visit to his home inevitability resulted in a guided tour of his garage where his many hit and miss engines or other antiques or curiosities could be found. His interest in Cushman scooters lead him to travel extensively and collect and restore his own. Understandably, he was a dedicated member of the Rough and Tumble Association in Kinzer and the Cushman Club of America. He was also a longtime member of Twin Pine Hunting Club in Clinton County.
