Mrs. Copping. My name is Rick DeBenetti, and I worked with Cliff for many years in PWGSC. I was out of town over the past week and just learned today about Cliff. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Cliff was a wonderful guy. I first met Cliff back in the mid 80's when we worked together at Confederation Heights. I was a new guy in PWC, with a lot to learn. Cliff was always patient, friendly and supportive.
My thoughts are with you and the family.

It was a great shock to me, to hear of Cliff's passing. He was one of a kind, he always met you with a smile, always had a great joke or story to be told. I knew him for about 20 years, through work. I will miss him greatly, my prayers are with the family for their loss.
