John "Clyde" Lusk, 88, of Idaho Falls (formerly of Menan) passed away peacefully on February 12th 2016, after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving family at MorningStar Senior Living.
Clyde was born September 1st 1927, to John D. and Lucy Pieper Lusk in Pocatello. He spent his childhood in Sugar City. After high school, he joined the U.S. Navy and served on the USS Iowa.

While residing in Pocatello, Marilyn and Clyde adopted three children, Jeffrey, Lynlee and Valerie. The family later moved to Albuquerque, N.M., where Clyde continued working as a chemist. In 1977, he retired due to health concerns but ultimately returned to work as a radio chemist for the state of New Mexico. Marilyn passed away in 1980.
