Read MoreCliff was a real gentleman and an avid partaker of life. With his activities in ham radio and his love of good music, he made the most of every moment.

Donna and I picked up Cliff at his apartment and took him to the MTARA Christmas Party. He went back inline for seconds and desserts. Had a grand time with Cliff and learned of his military service before WW2 started. He loved being on his own and had a full schedule every day..

Thank you for your...

David and Mary: We will certainly miss Eliot, with his contagious smile and gentle demeanor. Patti is so grateful for his frequent visits over the years to her Mother's house in Kittery, Me. Eliot had an active, generous involvement with the Junkins Family Association which was an encouraging example for us. For his family involvement and his Navy service, we are sincerely grateful. May God continue to bless the Junkins family.

I'm sorry for your loss. I respected Cliff's dedication to MaryJo and his youthful foray back into the dating scene. Cliff was always interested in connecting with those he met. A people person who if you shook his hand Cliff would want to hold it for just a little longer to make the connection last. One of a kind. Very nice to read he made a peaceful exit. Well deserved. God bless.
