Even though through these last many years I saw less of Cliff, he was always great keeping in touch during the holidays. Having known Cliff for many, many years he is remembered as a very positive person, making light of stressful situations, never showing anger. He had a great sense of humor too. Remembering back to the time he bought a beautiful car when living with Betty and Rudy, my sister Chris and I offered to help him wax it. She and I worked on the back side of the car while he worked on the front. The next time we got together he casually mentioned, with a smile, that the wax on our end of the car was so thick he had to think of ingenious ways to get it off - Chris and I thought we had already buffed it off. Kudos to him also for his degree from Seattle U. He worked, I believe, full time while taking full credits. Not an easy task, but with his intelligence and determination he accomplished his goal within the same length of time as those who did not work full time, or work at all while taking classes. Cliff is remembered with warmth and love as a part of my life's journey. My condolences to family and friends - I know his passing leaves a huge void. Sincerely Sally McGladrey Bjornson
