Not sure what to say?

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

we’re sorry to hear of your father’s passing Diane, Praying for you and your family.

My sincerest condolences to all my family and his friends. Uncle Cliff was the most giving and hard working person I knew. His paintings are unbelievable and beautiful. Rest in peace.

We love and miss you grandpa Cliff! I love how much you loved this country and your family!

Love you grandpa! You have been an example of a good character and a hard worker that I looked up too. Thank you, miss you.

A soldier for America and most importantly a soldier for Christ. Love you grandpa, I’ll make sure not to stir up the dust too much until we meet again.

P.S. - If you don’t mind, watch over the construction of my mansion until I get there.

I knew Cliff, although based at a different location of Sun Chemical. Our paths crossed many times over the years and I found him to be an absolute gentleman. I always enjoyed working with him and I’m very said to hear of his passing. I haven’t seen him for many years but have never forgotten our times together.

I knew this time would come, but didn’t think it was going to be this soon. I love you so much and you are already greatly missed.
Give grandma and aunt Melissa hugs for me!

Cliff was by far one of the nicest, hardest working best men I have ever known and have the privilege to call my friend. RIP “ Big Red Dog “
