Clifford Ingber
April 1, 1954 - January 14, 2024
We sadly note the passing of Clifford J. Ingber of Stamford, Connecticut, a prominent contract security guard industry attorney for over 45 years, who left an indelible mark on the lives of his professional colleagues, friends, and family. Clifford died January 14 at the age of 69, having lived by his credo of the overriding importance of family, love, compassion, kindness, and empathy.
Born on April 1, 1954, Clifford is survived by his wife Aimes, brother Doug, children Juliet and Rachel, stepchildren Theodora and Hollis, three grandchildren - and his McLaren.
Clifford was predeceased by his parents, Max and Nettie and brother, Robert. His family was the center of his unwavering love and dedication. Clifford was one of three brothers born in Brooklyn and grew up on Long Island. Constant joking and banter belied a deep family bond which would continue when he became a father. He proudly worked and raised his children in Greenwich, Connecticut, enjoying its winding, scenic roads and generously sharing his home with friends and family.
Professionally, Clifford was a formidable attorney handling mostly mergers and acquisitions as well as nuanced employment issues. In 1977, at the age of 23, he graduated Hofstra Law School. He was the only attorney who specialized in the security guard industry when he began the Ingber Law Firm in 1988. A member of numerous professional and industry organizations, he was an adjunct professor of contract and employment law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Clifford's passion for motor vehicles began with an Opel Rallye quickly escalating to include several specialty Porsches and Ferraris, racing a uniquely modified Subaru WRX featured on a cover of Car and Driver magazine, and concluding with an infamous blue McLaren 12c Spider. His love for all things automobile was a predicate for endless reading, researching, and discussion with those fortunate enough to have known him.
Beyond motorcars and professional achievements, Clifford was distinguished by his remarkable sense of humor and his unique ability to bring laughter to any situation, especially the irreverent. He enriched the lives of those around him, creating lasting memories with kindness and compassion. His informal nature and genuine connections with others will forever endear him to a wide circle of family and friends.
Clifford Ingber leaves behind a voluminous void in those who were lucky to be a part of his orbit. His journey was cut short of an intended retirement in Florida, where he was looking forward to time with his wife and pranking his kids and grandkids. Clifford would be honored to know that those who survived him were changed by him, and live brighter lives because of him.
