Barr Family,

Life at Wynalda will never be the same without "Cliffie". Always there to make you smile or laugh. And always demanding sweets. "Paulette did you bake cookies or brownies or ANYTHING??" The man loved sweets. Cliff could roar very loudly, but you always knew inside he was just an ole softy. He will remain in our hearts forever.

Barr Family:

It's extremely difficult to put into words what Cliff meant to me. I have an extremely high regard for Cliff as a co-worker, leader, father, and brother in Christ. I will miss laughing with Cliff the most. We would laugh so hard together that we'd have tears sometimes. I will never forget his infectious smile. I will miss talking about life and God's Word with him. He was very confident of his salvation in Christ alone, and loved God more than anything. I look forward to...

He could always make me laugh
when I wanted to cry.
When I felt like giving up
He told me to give it another try.
He taught me the important things in life
with help from his awsome wife.
Now I have Jesus in my heart to stay
all because my grandpa chose to live this way.
I cant let him down, I have to do my part
and take all of his words to heart.
He taught me to believe John 3:16
cause he wants to see me again, but in a...

Cliff's smile could light up any room. His big 'ole bear hugs mimicked those of a father. Working with Cliff has made me a better person. It's made me realize that God and family are first...and always should be. I feel lucky to have worked with him even if it was for a short period of time. His memories will live on in us for years.
May God grace the Barr family with his mercy and love through this difficult time. Please take comfort in the words Cliff spoke so dearly while giving...

I had worked with Cliff for a few years at Wynalda. I have so many good and funny memories of Cliff. It is still hard for me to believe that he is not around to give me a hard time (it was all in fun), I used to give it right back to him and he loved it. He was good christian man who loved the lord. I feel blessed to have known him. He will be missed by all of us. God bless your family in this time of sorrow.

It was great to know you. Thanks for all the inspiration.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cliff was a wonderful energetic man with a real passion for his family and his job. I only knew Cliff for a couple of years but found him to be a good friend and collegue. He would always ask how you are doing and talk with you if needed. We need more Cliff's in this world.

A LITTLE OVER A DECADE AGO I BEGAN WORKING FOR WYNALDA LITHO. CLIFF WAS JUST A SMILING FACE THAT POPPED INTO THE ACCOUNTING OFFICE ONCE IN A WHILE TO SEE BOB DUNLAP. AFTER A FEW YEARS I MOVED INTO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHERE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT PRINTING, PRESSES AND COLOR FROM "THE MASTER". CLIFF WAS NEVER ARROGANT OR CONDESCENDING, EVEN THOUGH HIS VAST KNOWLEDGE COULD HAVE EASILY AFFORDED HIM THOSE QUALITIES. OVER THE YEARS WE FORMED A CERTAIN COMMRADERIE NOT ALWAYS COMMON...
