Cliff and I lived in the Sunnyside Homes in Winston Salem, NC during our early days in South Park School.
My first memories are during the days of comic books and after school we would get together and swap comics.
Later we moved to Houston and got together with the Dunnegan´s occasionally and we played a few games of golf. We sort of lost touch when we moved back to North he was a very special guy!
Condolences to Judy and his family!
God Bless!

First solid memory is going to North Carolina and I was about 7 or 8 years old and we went to visit. He was this majestic combat pilot driving a convertible green 2 door MG sports car. True top gun stuff. He had a play ice hockey game with all his "cliff" stuff in the basement that we played.
