Heaven got a great man today you will be missed Cliff. I know I haven’t lived around you the last 38 years but I’ve always kept in touch with you and talked with you on the telephone. I appreciate everything you ever did for me. You protected me you taught me you gave me money. I’ll never forget those things. Tell my daddy I said hello until we meet again
James,
Sorry for your loss. Remember the good times and the hard times you had with your Dad because that’s what made you who you are. A good father, husband and friend.
Bill & I appreciate having Cliff as our closest neighbor for 17 years.
The night the tornado came over our homes he was at my back yard
checking on us immediately and we had been moved in only a few days and had really met yet. He was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. He’s gone too soon. Our deepest sympathy to his family.
RIP BUB you will be missed
