I have never met such a more positive man. I met Clifford as he jogged past our house twice daily. Whenever my husband, I or the kids were outside, he always stopped to talk and say hi. After we moved, I started to make Christmas goodie boxes and Clifford always got one. He so appreciated the goodies and always sent us a nice Christmas card with a letter. I know Clifford is in heaven, what a good man he was. Sue Martin, Appleton, WI
