Daniel Clifford

Mr Clifford was one of our Best teachers and Dept heads at Platt Tech He was fair and was one Crazy Dude you never knew what he was going to do ! From lining up quarters on his arm and betting the class that he would throw them in the air and catch the last one before it hit the floor Then we bet bet him he could not do 50 push ups in less then a minute Then one day he came into class with this wild look in his eyes and said excuse me and went in the corner stood on his head and did...

Elaine, Dan, Michael and family - I just recently learned about Cliff's passing. He was such a positive influence to so many people it is staggering. I, literally, can trace the 42 years I have worked in education to Dan's tutelage. He was a great man.

Mr. Clifford was an inspiring and energetic teacher. Always love going to his I was especially intrigued with his quarters of the elbow trick. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

Mr Clifford was one of our best teachers at Platt (class of 74-78). He was always so upbeat and his enthusiasm with all us kids back then was inspiring! I pray for all of his family in this time of his passing. If I was in Connecticut, I would attend the services. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. R.I.P.
