Eddie Cliffe Obituary
Eddie Lynn Cliffe, a resident of San Antonio, TX went to be with the Lord on February 19, 2019. He was the son of Edward Royce and Cleo Belle Cliffe. He was born in Houston, TX on November 10, 1940 in a family home. Survived by wife of 25 years, June Cliffe; sister Betty Sue Sundin; daughters Janna (Andy) Keller, Julie Cliffe (Trey Brangan, fiancé), and Jaime (Abe) Frias; grandchildren Ann-Marie Keller, Noah Keller, Madilynn Frias; many beloved nieces, nephews, and extended family.
He attended Brackenridge High School where he met June and they became high school sweethearts. After high school, he worked for the City of San Antonio as a city planner then moved on to IBM and worked for them for over 30 years and received many awards and accolades. After he retired, he worked as a contractor with TSS, a subsidiary of IBM. Eddie later started his own business, Anchor Home Inspections, where he loved working for himself for over 10 years.
He was always an active member in his church family by being president of church council, helping to start a new church; St. Andrew Lutheran; baseball/ softball leagues and, always doing anything for his family and friends.
Eddie enjoyed so many hobbies which included hunting, fishing and was an avid sports fan. He was also involved in the Olympic Torch Run in 1993, was still involved in the Brackenridge Alumni Association. Eddie later enjoyed attending his grand children's activities and was their biggest fan!

Dear Mrs. Cliffe, I enjoyed working with Eddie at IBM in the '80's. He was always a gentleman and concerned for our customers. His concern was backed by his professional response to their needs and wants. And he was instrumental in leading them to better maintenance and systems operations. I pray you and yours will enjoy many fond memories.

Ed will be missed. Our last email note was shared this past Jan 3rd. We both joined IBM about the same time and advanced into management about the same time. In late 1960's both families would go camping at Marble Falls. Ed would bring his speed boat and we terrorized the lake together. Luckily we both survived.
Fay and I wish prayers and good thoughts to all Ed's family.

My dad and Eddie Lynn were cousins but more like brothers growing up. Like my dad, Eddie Lynn was a true Southern gentleman and his handshake meant something. I will miss seeing him at family reunions, but know he is in a better place with his Lord and Savior, free from pain and discomfort. He will be missed.
To June and my second cousins Janna, Julie and Jaime and extended families, our heartfelt condolences and prayers. Also love to Betty Sue Sundin on the loss of her beloved brother.
Please accept our regrets on not being able to be with y'all this afternoon. Know that we are holding you in hearts and prayers.

It's always hard as a therapist to lose a patient who has become a friend over the years, but Eddie was someone extra special and this one hurts more than usual. He was instantly loved by anyone who worked with him and he fought a good fight for a long time. June, you should know that he was lucky to have you on his team. You were among the best of caregivers I've seen over the years. I will be keeping you in my prayers.
