Cliff, Kim and Donalene were our neighbors as we were growing up in Waukegan, IL. We always had a lot of fun times together as kids. He has touched our lives as well as many other people he knew. I wish I had gotten to know his children and grandchildren, but maybe in another time we will meet up again. My prayers are with his mom and sister Kim and with you and your family. God Bless

Donna, don't know if you remember me, but I worked with Cliff at Multimedia Cable in Oak Lawn, Ill. I enjoyed my time with him especially working the all-nighters on yearly budgets. He was a very smart individual and was a hard worker. He was well liked by everyone. Sorry to hear of his passing. Cress Gackle
