I am saddened to learn of the loss of a great firefighter. I will always remember Cliff and be grateful to him for taking me under his wing as a new firefighter. We worked well together and he taught me respect for the job. My heart goes out to his family; may they be comforted in knowing what a great Dad and husband he has been.
