Clifford James Grossman

WARREN – Clifford James Grossman, age 77, embraced eternal peace Tuesday, October 7, 2025 at the Cleveland Clinic. He was born August 3, 1948, in Warren, the son of James Howard and Marian (Fortney) Grossman. A 1966 graduate of Leavittsburg High School, and a 1984 graduate of Youngstown State, Cliff retired from the stamping plant at General Motors-Lordstown after 30 years. He took the opportunity to pursue his passion for golf, dancing, and working around the house. He loved to boat the coastal water ways of South Carolina while taking in the sites and society of the South. Precious memories of Cliff live on with his sister, Jean Auman (husband Lester) of Cochrane, Wisconsin; and his brother, Ken Grossman (wife Kelly) of San Diego, California. Cliff's signature was his warm outgoing personality which included a deep streak of playfulness. Along with Laurie, they could light up a room. His friendships tended to be life-long, especially his best friend Gary Fellenger, (Goaty). Cliff's concern and empathy for the friends and neighbors he encountered through life was organic and completely natural. He was a good man. Preceding him in death are his parents; his beloved wife, Laraine (Shaw) Grossman Beach, who passed January 16, 2025; his infant daughter, Kelly Grossman; his son, Bret A. Grossman; and his brother Harry E. Grossman. Cliff and Laurie were originally married in 1969 and reunited again in 2021. Sparks flew and they remarried in 2023. While they both had grown and gone their own way in life, their reunion was joyous, and their remaining time together was filled with comradery and happiness. A Celebration of Life gathering will be conducted on Saturday, October 25th, 2025 from 1 pm to 4 pm, at Sorrento's Italian Restaurant for both Laurie and Cliff. To honor Cliff's great life, do a good deed for someone, and remember Cliff and his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
