To All Of Cliff's Family....My deepest sympathy to all of you at this time of great loss. Cliff was truly one of the 'good guys'. We have all lost a little piece of our hearts in his passing.
Although I had lost touch with him over the past few years, he was never forgotten. I can't begin to count the number of times I told stories of our escapades over the years...stories always told with a chuckle, a laugh and, occasionally, a tear of sweetness. He was one of the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful, funniest and warmest people I have ever known.
I've never heard a Queen song (especially 'Fat Bottom Girls'), worn a pink shirt (he used to tell me I looked 'stunning' in pink), taken a last minute road trip (ours was to Virginia Beach) or rode a roller coaster (that's all we road all day at Cedar Point, until we were sick!) without thinking of Cliff. There are so many great memories that I will always cherish.
He was taken far too soon, but he will live on in our hearts and I, for one, am comforted with the thought of knowing that he's up there watching over us.

Cliff what a pleasure it was to work with you. You worked with such integrity and always had a pleasant personality and a positive image. Whenever I called with questions or just needed to talk you always had a smile. It is hard to believe that you are gone. I surely miss you. Blessings to Kurt and to the family.
