Thinking of you Dad! Wish so bad you could be here to see my babies grow up!! I know you would spoil them rotten and be at every school and sporting event of theirs.. You never missed one ever! I love you so much and talk to you almost everyday... I hope you're listening! Xoxo
P.S. Josh always steals the 1st drink of my Coke!
Love you Dad! ❤

Well...It's been almost 4 long years since we lost the most incredible man on earth, like they say..You don't know what you've missed, until it's gone. :( there isn't a day that goes by
that I don't pray to God, and to you, to look over us, and to guide me.You would be soooo proud of your baby girls, they're doing well in life,and their both very happy. And your grandson's are the smartest and sweetest little guys on earth. My life has been hard, but I'm getting through it. Miss you lots!!!
Always and Forever you will be in my heart.

Uncle Cliff-
You are so missed by us all. We've all been so distant for so long, And just found one another. We were so looking forward to your visit.
I try to tell myself that god had something very important planned for you. But my selfishness wants you here with us.
I know we will all be together again. Til then I will just remember you as the wacky uncle we use to go visit as a child, on our weekend family visits.
I love you now and always Uncle Cliff...
Huggs and Kisses-

Cliff, I will miss you, but look forward to seeing you again in Heaven.
I had the privilege of working with you as the Community Interface at Church on the Rock, in Morgan Hill, Ca.
I will remember how strong you were, pushing those long, filled up carts up that Redcross truck ramp, making it look easy, at the end of a long night, in the cold bro.
I will also remember how you spoke of your love for your family also.
May I become even half the man you were, not afraid to speak of your love for your children. Which was admirable and left a sweet fragrance in the air.
Lord, I ask for Your hedge, Your comfort, Your peace, and Your blessing over Cliff's family, in Jesus Name. Amen

Cliff,
it was a great pleasure to be able to have known you and your family. Even through the long hours we always put in, you would always get a good laugh from ya. My Dad and myself have lost a dear friend we've known the better part of 20 yrs. I wish the 3 of use could have went for a ride, but that can never happen. "You never know what ya got till its gone" could never be more true. We both love you...Matt Sr

Cliff,
I remember when we first met, You were such a tough guy. I didn't realize that it was only on the outside until later. The First Christmas Eve our family's spent together, I saw how kind, generous and caring you were. You will be missed. You have two amazing daughters that have your wonderful caring heart.

I can't believe I will not see your motorcyle parked in the "no parking area" at work or see you wearing that POW skull cap you so defiantly wore...and how you only listened to people you respected...Thanks for all the chrome parts and for having my back...being your friend truly meant having a friend..I really miss you Cliff.

My dearest Harley man, Heaven took back what belongs to them, An angel that we had the pleasure of knowing, An angel that was hard on the exterior but melts like butter on the interior. A great man, A man of honer,pride,honesty and most of all great father.. he made sure to let us know how much he loves his girls. I'm so very grateful and blessed to have had your friendship. I looked forward when I was going to work with you. I knew I would be laughing all day and knew I was going to be around a true hearted person. Thanks cliff for everything and some.

To Cliff's friends and family;
Motor cycles become a part of it's owner, a part of one's persona. There is a phrase all riders know and understand; "Ride to live - live to ride". Take solice in the fact that Cliff left this world doing something he really loved - riding his bike.
Cliff was a good friend. I am thankful that he left us while riding, and not on some other long journey to one's end.
My life is better for having known Cliff. I will miss him.
October 15, 2010
I never met Cliff, but I thought about him every day. I put in his hours for payroll. You might think, why does she care? Well, it's because I know what it's like to lose someone you loved, or see everyday, talk to every day, rely on everyday. You can't replace them, you can't forget them, you can't do anything but hold on tight while you grieve. "It gets better," they say, but it doesn't get better when you think, "If I could just hold his hand one more time, or look into his smiling eyes." It's not better. It's hard. The only thing that gets you through in the end is to love each other and to remember good times you had together. Also, it helps to remember that along with the suffering that we are all subjected to in life, we also get moments of happiness; joyfilled instants that never last long enough, where all is well with the world. I like to think that once we die, things are all well with the world forevermore. We don't know if that's true, because no one has ever came back to tell us, but maybe that's a good sign. Maybe they don't want to come back because they are much happier where they are. Maybe there's a game on, or they are all playing cards, or wandering some beautiful woods, with dogs, and cats and other creatures that they have known who have passed as well. Maybe we all meet up again, or meet all our ancestors. We won't know until we get there, and we won't be coming back to say. For those that are left behind, let's treasure the moments we do get that are happy ones, and hang on tight when things get hard. All I know is you can't let yourself lose hope. My condolences to you all. I will miss Cliff too.

I remember working with Cliff a couple times. He has his ways of making others laugh by his sarcastic sense of humor. He loves sharing his food especially when he doens't want it to go to waste. :) He will definitely be missed. My Regards goes out everyone. Both his family in ARC South Bay mobiles and especially to his family. We are sorry for your loss.

I am still waiting for Cliff to come walking through the doors at work with a six pack of coca colas, a pink box full of a dozen donuts and two footlongs sandwiches from subway and always willing to share all with us. He had a heart of gold in a thick exterior shell yet he never failed at showing his unforgettable smile and laugh. He always made the day brighter by his quirkey comments and made my day better. The past three years at the red cross would of not been the same without you. I am still waiting for you to walk through the door and sit next to us and just talk out of the kindness of your heart. You will be greatly missed by the ARC family and I know you're riding around up in heaven on your Harley while watching your family and friends. We will miss you dearly papa of the ARC!

Cliff-
You always made me laugh! Your personality always showed through your humor. I was always really touched by the relationship you had with your girls (Heidi and Holly). You always showed your support for them with your time and fullfilling their needs. You raised two womderful women, who love you very much. And for that I thank you! You will be missed!

You shared so much of yourself with your Red Cross Family. Always doing a great job on the South Bay Mobiles. When situations arose, you would always go the extra mile without alot of us knowing.

My prayers are with Heidi Barnes and the family. My father died in an auto accident in 1989 in Pennsylvania. We were close so it was a life changing shock. Only returning to the Lord's love healed my grief in the years afterwards. May I suggest the Center for Living with Dying who helps people process their grief. Also, please feel free to call me (435-2030)(Adult Probation) or meet just to talk. Please take good care of yourself. Godbless you.

Uncle Cliff,
My first trip to Disneyland. I will always remember you and Aunt Gail for that. As a kid I always loved going and staying with you and Aunt Gail. We always did something fun. I thank you for all the memories. I treasure them all.....
I am so glad I was able to see you and Holly in January when my own father passed away. I never got to thank you for being there for my mother. Thank you...... It ment the world to her, the bond that was created between the two of you after my father had passed.
Heidi, Holly and Aunt Gail, my prayers and love go to each of you. I love you....
It is very comforting to read all of the beautiful messages. Uncle Cliff, you have touched many lives. You will be missed by many. I love you..

To Cliff's family: may all the prayers that have been sent give you peace and strength during your time of sorrow. I didn't work directly with Cliff but he came by our office occasionally for a visit. Under his gruff look was a big soft teddy bear, and if anything you knew what he was saying was truly what he felt. It's hard to say that final goodbye but you will always have your memories, keep those close to your heart and Cliff will be with you always. My prayers are with you also. Cliff will be missed.

Cliff,
I keep expecting you to walk through the door and sit down next to the nurses's desk and chat with me. It is what you did every day before or after your shift. You often bought food and there was no refusing it, you wouldn't take no for an answer. You helped me in so many ways. It is my pleasure to have known you.

Dearest Cliff, Writing this without crying would be absolutely impossible, so here it goes...You were an amazing man. Smart, funny, a hardworker, thoughtful, caring, kind, responsible and the list goes on and on. You were a man I looked up to. You were like a father figure to me while my father is away. You brought such life to work and to everyone around you. You would stay late on the days you worked and even came to work on your days off. You were a true Gem! I looked forward to visiting mobiles that you worked on. There wasn't a time where you din't buy me lunch or made sure I had a fork so you could share your food with me. You were a true nurturer. They say that everything happens for a reason and I know God has a good plan for you. Today was the day I was suppossed to return back to work. I am thankful I returned sooner so we had a chance to spend some time before your passing. I am also thankful that you went the way you did. You always said, if you were going to go, you wanted it to be on your bike. The American Red Cross will never be the same without you. The world lost a great man yesterday. But, Heaven is rejoicing right now. Not a day will go by that I will not think of you. May God richly bless your family. Love always...

To all of Cliff's family and friends.I had not known him long but it was wonderful.I was told that he would give me the hardest time at the American Red Cross and I can honestly say it was quite the opposite. He was a Big Cuddly Teddy Bear, He was putty in my hands.I loved the laughter and the stories of the old days. He told me that I reminded him of one his daughters. I was just trying to reach him to let him know that i was coming to visit this weekend. I am so sorry that he will miss me I am more sorry that I will miss him.My prayers are with his children, in my brief time spent with him, it was all about his family and the new one.My Blessings.

I'd known Cliff since he went through training at the Red Cross. He was often gruff and sarcastic, but that was his sense of humor; the facade. In several entries I've seen the term "Gentle Giant." That describes him precisely. He was always concerned for the well being of his fellow man and committed to the ARC cause. I was honored to have known him and he will be sorely missed. My prayers and all my love to his family during this difficult time.

The cross-ring you so generously gave me way back when will hang from my rearview mirror forever so that you can ride with me every day! I already miss you rearranging my desk! So long Happy - save me a seat on your cloud - see you when I get there.

To my friend Cliff. It was a pleasure meeting you last year! The first time I meet you I tried to talk to you, as we were waiting for a delivery, you said to me "I don't like to talk", and I replied, "well your going talk to me I'm a talkative mood" and you laughed! And from that you talked to me! I greatly appreciate you and thank you for the best and my favorite sweater! I'm going to miss you man!

I have known Cliff for 17 years, back in 8th grade when his oldest daughter Heidi and I became best friends. Cliff you were always a man with a tough look on the outside and a heart of gold on the inside. Always making Heidi and I laugh when we were kids and the times you'd come through my line at work and complain to tease me :) You always put your girls first in life and I am so glad you were able to meet your precious grandson. You are a loving man and you will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Heidi, Holly, Gail and the rest of the family. May you rest in peace.

To my loving Uncle Cliff, you were the only father figure in my life. I appreciate all that you've done for my sister and I. You stepped in when there was no other man around and you didn't have to. You opened up your home to me several times.You helped me get back on track even though I was hard headed. You taught me to be a man, you taught me to work, you taught me the tile trade that now allows me to support my family. I charish the conversation we had last 4th of July 2010 because you know how much you mean to me and what an important part of my life you've been. You gave me my first football, my first skateboard and now I share those same things with my son Clifford. Just like you did with me. You are dearly loved and you will be dearly missed.Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Heidi, Holly and Aunt Gail. Love you always, RIP my Mom probably needs you. Love your nephew Cliff.

Uncle Cliff: you were always there for my brother Cliff and I when we were kids. You showed us so much love and support and for that I am so thankful. You will be so missed. I am thankful that we reconnected over this past year and that my kids were able to meet you when we all went out to dinner. I have always appreciated everything you have done for me and hope you know that I have never stopped loving you. You will always be the best Uncle in my book. May you rest in peace now with Grandpa, Gram, and my mom.

Uncle Cliff, I will always remember you as the Uncle who spoiled all us kids at Christmas time. I have many fond memories as being a child and spending holidays with you and Aunt Gail...and even though we lost touch for several years...I want you to know that when we did meet back up with eachother just a short time ago....IT WAS AMAZING. You will always be remembered in my heart. You came to us in the end for my Dad and I promise he is there waiting for you now. I love you Uncle Cliff, Love forever Rhonda

Thank you for giving me a chance even though you were skeptical. You treated me and my kids like family and lit up Heidi's life. She loves you so much. I am glad to have met you and want you to know that I love your daughter and I promise to take care of her. All of our thoughts and prayers are with her, Holly, Gail and the rest of your loved ones. Thank you for being so good to Caleb, Bear and myself, we will all miss you and your smile hiding behind that scowl. And know that you will forever live on through your grandson Noah. I thank god that you were able to see him and hold him. He is our little angel and I know he is your pride and joy. We will all miss you, but will never forget you. Now go find my dad and continue to watch over us from heaven and take comfort in the fact that god will help everyone you love get through these hard times. Take it easy Cliff. Love, Josh

It was an honor to know such a gentle giant who spoke of living life and enjoying each moment to the max. Thanks for always checking on me and making sure I was safe. Doris
