Mr. Bunting was born April 25, 1948 in Bridgeport, son of the late Thomas C. and Matilda (Terifay) Bunting. Cliff was a lifelong resident of the Lordship section of Stratford.

He is survived by his brother Craig Bunting, sister-in-law Ann Burke-Bunting, and his niece Jillian Bunting and her family, as well as several cousins. A memorial service will be announced later in the spring.

My deepest condolences to the Bunting family - I am so sorry to learn about Cliff. He was our starting center for the SHS basketball team- I always enjoyed talking with him at the SHS cafe and watching him play.He would always make us laugh when he told us he was the only center who 'lost' height when he jumped.He use to say he was going to write a book about his " jumping skills".
May he rest in peace.

Craig,
Dicksey and I were so saddened to learn of Cliff's passing. He was a good neighbor. He always had kind thoughts and a positive outlook. We (and all of Spruce Street) will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
