Clifford Gordon Steckman

When I was 5 my dad, a navy man stationed out of Bremerton, moved my mom and kid brother and me from our brownstone in New York City to Seattle. Our 40's-era Craftsman home was perched on the brow of North Hill looking down on Des Moines WA. The Steckmans ... Herb and Ruth and Jeri and Cliff ... lived two doors over. Cliff was a huge part of my life for a lot of years, the older kid in the neighborhood who was always getting us involved in some adventure or another, everything from...

Cliff was a good neighbor and always willing yo lend a helping hand. He made my world a better place.

I will always love you, Dad. Please find a way to send me your hugs; I miss them so much.
