Clyde Joseph (Joe) Black, age 77 passed away on July 17, 2023, in Maryville, Tennessee after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Joe served as a pastor in both the Southern Methodist and the United Methodist Church for more than 50 years. He was a wonderful preacher in the pulpit, a remarkable biblical teacher, active in helping with the children and youth in the church, and at times involved in the worship music as well. He felt his calling to be a preacher at a young age and was dedicated to that service for as long as he was able. Joe was a gifted piano player and used his talent with the keys to entertain, bring joy and lead worship much to the delight of all who listened. Joe was quite a skilled cook in the kitchen and enjoyed hosting his family for dinners. Preceded in death by his loving parents George and Ruth Black.
