My condolences go out to the entire family. Over the years many of my greatest memories were with Cliff....all the fun filled weekends skiing, white water rafting trips, numerous other adventures and just kicking back and having fun.

We were so sorry to hear that Cliffy had passed. Our sympathies go out to all of his family.
I tagged along on a lot of Cliffy and Bonnie's ski trips when we were young and he dragged me down those black diamond trails every time! I'll always remember Cliffy and those fun, crazy adventures and we'll miss bumping into him around town. A gentle man with a terrific sense of humor....Rest in peace Cliff.

Dear Rich, Allan, Lee Anne and Pamela,

As I told Rich this afternoon, I was shocked to hear about Cliff. He was a good man and a good friend and a real part of the landscape at my dad's business for a lot of years as was all your family. It is an honor for me to be able to officiate at his service on Thursday. May God's blessing be on all of you as they are on Cliff.

Dear Sampson Family,
My condolences to all of you. I hope the absence of our dear friend and brother will be filled with all the good times you shared with him. All those crazy jokes he would go on for hours about.

FIRST OF ALL I AM SORRY FOR EVERYBODIES LOSS!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS GONE. I HAVE SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES OF CLIFFY I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIM AND HAD SO MANY LAUGHS!!!! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND AND I WILL MISS HIM WICKED. SKIING, SAILING , WHITE WATER RAFTING, EVEN BEING DRAGGED TO ALL THE DISNEY CARTOONS I WANTED TO SEE. HE REALLY LOVED THE LITTLE MERMAID, HE EVEN HAD THE TAPE OF THE MUSIC TO LISTEN TO IN HIS CAR. HE WAS THE BEST MAN AT MY WEDDING AND COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN WITH CRAIG IN HIS ARMS TEACHING HIM TO SKI WAS REALLY A GREAT SIGHT!!! I HAVE KNOWN HIM MY WHOLE LIFE AND NOW A PIECE OF IT IS MISSING, I ALWAYS FIGURED LATER ON IN LIFE WE WOULD ALL BE SITTING AROUND WITH HAILIE AND HER KIDS GOOFING ABOUT WHAT WE DID AND WHERE WE WENT. I WILL MISS HIM AND I KNOW HE WON'T BE FORGOTTEN. I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES AND SO MANY STORIES TO TELL!!!!
LOVE BONNIE
