Not sure what to say?

Hi. I so needed to contact this sweet family. I just watched The HBO Alzheimer's special. Mr. Holman"s story touched my heart. I lost my Dad in 9/2016 at age 73 from an aggressiv cancer.I am an only child and very much a Daddy's Girl ! My Dad's name of as Clifford and he too went by Cliff . It seems my now 75 yo Mom may be having someild cognitive issues, and dementia...why I watched the documentary. When Cousin Cliff passed at inpatient Hospice....just as my Dad did too, I felt right there...

The Holman Family:
During all of our lifetimes we loose those we love and adore. But very few of us have a family member who is a beloved icon as "Cousin Cliff" Holman was for thousands of children. My husband & I both we on his show for our own birthdays & friends' birthdays. We all considered being on the show as being with the "superstar". Cousin Cliff was the " SUPERSTAR" of our era. Todays programs are such fad based shows. They never last for a long time. Yes, we have Sesame Street,...

Everyone LOVED "Cousin Cliff"
I had the pleasure of being on his TV show at the age of 3, watching the show for many years, seeing him perform at churches and funtions while growing up. I also had the pleasure of knowing Cliff Jr. through our mutual friend, Mark. Not so long ago I was reunited with Cousin Cliff while judging Karoke contests for The Bobby T Show and he invited me to join him in judging the Cullman County Fair Beauty Pageant and going out to eat with the staff afterwards...

Cousin Cliff was an important positive icon of a lost innocent era.
His warmth and smile will be missed

Cliff and I worked together at times on his TV show and shared good times together for many years.I will miss him and think of him each time I am entertaining children with magic.

Deepest sympathy to the family of Cousin Cliff. Watching "Cousin Cliff" is one of my fondest childhood memories. His talent and smile will be missed.

As a young child, I always looked foward to seeing Cousin Cliff on television & remember being so excited when he came to Gadsden for the Grand Opening of the Gadsden Cinemas some 40 years ago. After growing up, marrying, having two sons & living in different parts of the U.S., I never forgot Cousin Cliff. That purple dinosaur isn't the celebrity that Cousin Cliff was in my book & I always found myself comparing the kids' shows of today with Bozo The Clown & Cousin Cliff. His legacy will...

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Cliff was one in a million. I never saw him that I didn't feel better after. My wife and I will miss him greatly.
Ann, may god bless you and your family.
