To All in the Clark Family, Know that I will keep Cliff in prayer as he was always like an older brother to me as I grew up in Warrenville. He inspired me with his commitment serving on the Fire Department and always had a pleasant word to greet me with whenever we met in town. My condolences to the entire family. Sincerely, Rev. Thomas M. Dieter from Seminole, Florida
