Cliffy was my Father's best friend. I think of him often. They are causing mischief in Heaven. He was a wonderful man.

I was Cliff's insurance agent in the 1980's and 1990's until I retired to do other things in 2001. Cliff was one of my favorite clients. He was an honest man working in a field where he had to compete with a lot of crooks, but he always maintained his integrity. Besides being a great guy , he had a fantastic and at the same time sarcastic sense of humor. If he thought it, he said it. One time he was doing roof work on a house that I owned that was near a large condo building perched on top of a steep hill. Cliff asked me if i was worried about the building falling off the hill. I replied that if it did, I didn't think it would make it as far as my house. He said "well yea, but who would want to hear all of those screaming people as it rolls down the hill? It's been 20 years and that condo building is still there. He had an interesting comment for every situation. I'm sure Cliff made a lasting impression on many, many people. Rest in peace Cliff.
