Ft. Worth, Texas - Clifford "Cliff" Critchett passed naturally at his home in Ft. Worth, TX on 16 June 2023, at the age of 78.
Cliff is survived by his wife of 43 years, Angie and his daughter Erica, both of Ft. Worth; brothers and sisters-in-law Wilfred and Barbara Puscher of Maryland, Manfred and Helena Puscher of Virginia, brother-in-law Roland Puscher of Pennsylvania, his nephew Alan (Heidi) Puscher of Pennsylvania, and niece Heidi (Dan) Muczynski of Pennsylvania.
Cliff is preceded in death by his son Anthony, his mother Connie, his niece Julie, and his sister-in-law Pam.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Cliff moved to Lake Worth, Florida at a young age where his love for the water and boating began.
He joined the army and served his country in the Vietnam Counter Offensive Campaign where he was part of the ASA. After leaving the army, Cliff got his B.S.E.E. in 1976 from the University of Florida where his curriculum centered around communications circuits and systems. Cliff was quickly recruited by Motorola and moved to Ft. Worth, Texas where he soon met Angie and they established their roots together.
Cliff always had a passion for boating and fishing but after he retired, he developed a love for gardening and photography as well.
Cliff was curious and intentional with a quick, dry wit driven by his intellect. He was selfless and patient and able to find joy in the little things. Cliff demonstrated the purest expression of love for Angie and Erica and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, 01 July from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Mt. Olivet Funeral Home in the Sandburg Suite. All are welcome to attend and celebrate his life. Cliff will be laid to rest in a private ceremony at the DFW National Cemetery.
