Paul, Peter & the Clifton family,
I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Freddy for over 20 years. And some where along the way during that time, Freddy and I became more than co-workers…we became good friends. I was a young electrical engineer fresh out of college when I first met Freddy. He was the technician for the Audio Development Lab at NASA JSC and we were both working for Lockheed. Early on he gave several of us a sheet on how to sign the alphabet and before long I was...

HI Uncle Fred, I hope you are able to see me type this, I want you to know how much I miss you and how much I love you. You were more than an uncle to me, you were my friend, and just like dad number 2. I will miss the times that we had thru out the yrs and your saying" Old senile uncle Fred." I just cannot believe you aren't with us physically anymore. You were suppose to go fishing with us this month. I was really looking forward to that. Please do me one last favor.. watch over my girls...

I'm saddened by a great loss, Fred Lee Clifton. He's with our great Lord. He is smiling his way knowing what it is really all about up in Space. I will miss Fred. I will never forget his great stories stories stories, laughs, sense of humor, waving hands, smiles and a good friend. My thoughts and prayers goes to the Clifton family during this time of sorrow. Fred you are a one of a kind!! NASA will miss you as well as those so dear and loved to you.
