I had the pleasure of meeting your beloved Cliff, shortly after he moved to Jax. We went to,graduated from EHS together and doubled dated many times. Cliff was very smart,could be a total comic and always a really nice guy. He was always missed at the Reunions and by many. It was with a heavy heart that I read his name last Saturday, then.. when the article ran I knew it was our beloved Cliff.
Though your hearts are aching, know that the Class of 71 mourns his loss with you. He will always remain a kind and gentle man.
Regards,
Margie Frankenberg-Dieter
