Roger:
I was very sorry to hear about Cliff. He was a good, hardworking business man that I was glad to be associated with. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your father. I missed your call because I was out fo town and the phone number I wrote down does not work. Would mind calling again (651-7556-1045 ex420) or emailing ([email protected]) me? I would like to send a memorial on Cliff's behalf, if you could give me an organization's name and address.
Thanks

LeeAnn , LouAnn, Lynnette, Tammy and family...

Please know how sorry I am to hear about your Dad...may you take comfort in knowing that he was loved by many...I as well as others have very fond memories of him... I am so glad I had the chance to see him last spring at Ellies open house...He was such a proud grandfather...He visited with us and shared stories as the best fathers do....I will always remember him driving a van ....a cigar in his mouth and always a cup of coffee...the hottest coffee possible... I take comfort in knowing that as I type this he is sharing a cup of coffee with your mother and they are sharing antics about everyone...Can't you hear them laughing??

My love and support to you all...
Lisa
