We are so sorry to hear that Cliff has passed. He was one of the most caring and compassionate person we have known. He married my mom in the early 80'S and he was an outstanding father. I have missed him dearly over the years, he will remain in our hearts forever.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Cliff at the railroad. Cliff taught me many things but the one thing that I still use to this day is how to throw a curve ball. He was an excellent bowler. My condolences to his family. Our prayers are with you.

When I am dead
pray for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much
It is not good for you
to allow your thought to dwell
to long on the dead
Think of me now and again
as I was in life.
At some moment that is pleasant to recall.
Leave me in peace
As I shall leave you,too,in peace.
While you live
Let your thoughts be with the living.
This was signed-Anonymous
I think this says "Clifford"
We shall keep Him in our hearts forever.
remember the good times.

Vivian, knowing Cliff was better than picking up a 7-10 split. The first time I met him was when he first hired out on the RR and it was my job to teach him to be safe in the yard. It was good working & bowling with him again in Denver, also. We have missed the two of you and Cliff will be greatly missed by all.
