Our family is dwindling - just leaves Audrey and me of the original family and in-laws. My thoughts and prayers are with Audrey as she faces life without Cliff. Sue, you are also in my thoughts. It is hard to lose a parent no matter how long they have lived. Cliff lived and enjoyed his life to the fullest and that is a blessing.

I remember Uncle Clifford patiently loading shrubbery into an immaculate car, dancing with me at Wendy's wedding and being a quiet voice of reason when the loud and laughing King siblings got together. Hope Aunt Audrey, Sue and Phil also keep and enjoy the wonderful memories. Love, Darlene and Doug

Cliff has shipped out...and we are so sorry. We will miss his cooking and his company, his hearty laugh and wonderful stories of times back in the day. We loved him, too, Audrey and Sue. Find peace, and treasure the memories.

Fair winds and following sea, my friend. The ammunition ship sailors will miss your laugh and your stories, and your AE-9 MAZAMA buddies will miss seeing you and Audrey at reunions - the laughs, the tours, times recalling antics aboard ship, and tale tales over hospitality room beers. We mourn with you, Audrey and family....

Sorry to find that we've lost another of the GSFC Procurement Greats - what I learned most from Cliff was not only when to speak but more importantly when NOT to speak up. Cliff was a fountain of procurement knowledge and instrumental in streamlining procuremnt documentation to make us more efficient.
