So sorry to hear of Cliffs passing. I worked with him at Fircrest Mkt. He was a great friend. Cliff will be dearly missed. Aloha my friend

My condolences to the family and prayers of comfort knowing how much he will be missed. He was such a gentle soul. I really liked Cliff, he was fun and I enjoyed hanging out in the produce dept chit chatting with him about the fruits and veggies, he really taught me a lot of about them and how to pick them perfectly.

I was so sorry to read of Cliffs passing. We worked together in the grocery business and became good friends. He was a hard working man who loved his family and his native home Hawaii. Aloha Cliff until we meet again. Will

Dearest Alapa ohana- I am saddened to read of Cliff´s passing in the paper today. I am a long time Oliver´s customer and of Hawaiian ancestry.

His kindness will be missed, Kim Ledesma
