How much I loved you. You were such a part of my life from the time I was born (you were 15) until circumstances beyond my control happened and we had no contact with each other for at least 3 years. You were still on my mind and in my heart. For some reason when I started talking I nicknamed you "Buddy." That stuck for a long time. You loved pulling tricks on me. When I was very young, I had a tent at the far side of the house at Shell Creek where I read comic books, etc. One night Mom told me to go get my comic books out of the tent. I said I would do that the next day but she insisted so I went out into the dark. You slipped out the back door and were lying face down with your feet sticking out. Scared me so bad. God bless you "Buddy" and rest in peace. My love, your niece, Tommie.

Gail, Doug: Uncle Cliff was a very special person to me. I always looked forward to trips to Florida or you trips to Tennessee he always had some trick to pull on someone. One I will never forget was how the well water would turn your skin green. The next morning I had green food coloring all over me. I loved your Dad very much and will miss him as I know you will.
