Clifford and I first met at Barton Oldsmobile, June of 1966, in downtown Spokane. Cliff was A Lube man, and I A mechanic. A nicer, more decent, honest man, you could never find! WE became life long friends, and he got me started in the "Truth".
To Rosemary and his family, please accept our Condolences, and Sympathy's.
We will see Cliff again after the Resurrection.

Daniala - Marge and I wish to send our condolences to you at this difficult time. The wintry weather kept us from knowing sooner - but your fellow workers informed us last night. We will look forward to seeing you when you return to work.
