    I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dad and husband. I have known Cliff since I was in grade school at Roosevelt grade school. Cliff was always such a gentle man and would give us kid treats off the sweetheart bread van. I was able to visit with him when he came to the clinic and he always had a smile, his gentle laugh and was excited to see everybody. Cliff will be missed by all who knew him. Loss is never easy no matter what the cause. May God comfort your family and friends who knw him during this time of sorrow. My deepest condolences.

    I remember Cliff as a neat guy from school days and I’m sure he was as nice a man. We both graduated in the class of 1955 and it seems many of us are rapidly gathering again. We’ll be having a wonderful reunion one of these days. In the meantime, Rest In Peace Cliff and I send my sympathy to your family.
