Cliff was my Sensei/my teacher, my trusted friend and always will be so. He was a caring, giving man who always wanted to smile and make others smile. I miss him already and look forward to seeing him again in Heaven. He was a devoted father who was always proud of his children. This sudden death has shocked us all. May God bless him and his family in this time of sadness.
