Not sure what to say?

Think of you often and remember you fondly.

We were remembering Cliff and Carol just recently. Always remembered fondly. Such a kind man he was. Always with us buddy.

Dear Mottaz Family,
I had Cliff as a professor at UWRF throughout the years of 2002-2006. He was a great teacher and always had a great story every class period. He always had a way to make us laugh. I wish the best to the family.
Sincerely,

I didn't know Dr. Mottaz extremely well, but he made an impression on me. He was my adviser and professor for two classes this past semester. He went to great lengths to make sure I had what I needed and encouraged me to do well in school. I will always remember his kindness, patience, generosity, and sense of humor.

Dear Aunt Carole,

We will cherish the fond memories we have of Uncle Skip from our childhood.Debbie, Barbie and myself will always remember picking out all of our black jelly beans from our...

I extend my sympathy to you and your family on the passing of such a great chevy car guy. He will be sorely missed. My prayers are with you.

Dr. Mottaz was a wonderful professor and an even more admirable man. Over the past 8 years I have frequently found myself in situations that remind me of a story he has told. He let his students be a part of his life. After moving out of state, I would visit Mottaz on campus when I came home. He would always make time to get a beer and just tell stories. He never judged and always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. He spoke with admiration about his family, especially his wife. Everytime...
