I am so sad to hear that Cliff has passed away but I realize that he is in a better place. My condolences go out to the family. I first learned of Cliff when he was in the navy and Doris was a best friend of mine when we went to Central High in Kalamazoo back in the 1960’s. We have remained friends since. Cliff had a wonderful sense of humor but was always very quite when I saw him. He will always be remembered in my thoughts. May God give his family peace during this time of sorrow.

Praying for the family, although I haven’t seen ya’ll for over 30 years, remember our time at Equitable, doing laundry while watching Mark and Laura, Mark mowing my grass - Doris and I playing paddle ball - Cliff’s quiet humor. My thoughts are with all of you.

I am saddened and sorry to see this. Cliff had a great financial mind, a wry sense of humor and unwavering faith. My thoughts and prayers go his family and friends but particularly to Doris, Mark and Beth. God’s blessings to you all.
