Just thinking back on all the nice times I spent with Cliff makes me smile. It was fun to hear all of his stories about growing up, his travels, and memories of all his relatives. He always had kind words and never spoke ill of anyone. His memory was quite amazing too- he’d tell me who won the World Series waaaaay back in the “dark ages” as if it had happened yesterday. He was a smart cookie too, -beat me at scrabble using his letter O to create some great word i’ve since forgotten, and got a double word score out of it as well! Although he didn’t get out much in his later years, he did enjoy going to the Opera with my Mother,Helen. I’d help him get all dressed up, and the two of them enjoyed more than a few really great classics. He was constantly entertained by the comings and goings of his Grandsons, and many Grandchildren and their myriad of friends. His most recent delight, was the birth of his Great Great Grandson. What a special event! -not many people get to live that long! Cliff was thoughtful too. He would frequently tell me it was one of his relative’s birthday, and although he could barely see with his double cataracts, he would painstakingly write them a card or a note. I’m sad that he’s gone, but I’m a richer person for having been part of his life even if it was just for a little while. Bye for now Cliff, I’ll see you on the other side someday when my turn comes.❤️Love you! Suzanne

Dear Uncle Cliff! How sweet you always were to me! I was a bother to our Grandma, and Dad would always have to tell me to "pipe down" and "settle down" and keep out of the adults' way.
But Uncle Cliff, you just said, "Do you want to sit on my lap?" And I was never so amazed! You talked to me, instead of ignoring me. The family adage of "children are to be seen and not heard" you seemed not to have learned very well. The only restriction I ever remember you placing on us was that we weren't to touch your trains.
How proud I felt sitting up on your lap, chatting with you about planes that time Dad drove you to the airport to catch a plane to .... somewhere! You liked to travel, I remember. Wherever it was you eventually came back, having had a nice trip, I guess. You probably showed us your slides, or a movie you'd made, like you'd made of us on your color film movie camera when you came to see us in Georgia where we were born. We loved to watch that movie, over and over again - our family entertainment for many years, along with Dad's black and white 8mm ones. Thanks, Uncle Cliff!
Thanks for your quiet way of loving us. Thanks for the trains, we looked forward to that one fun activity at Grandma's, along with seeing our cousin Sue who is near our ages. Thanks for not yelling at us, when we snuck in to see the trains that one time, or if you did I don't remember that. Thanks for your kind acceptance of my husband when you came home for Aunt Bonnie's funeral and we all went out to Griswold's, and keeping track of my kids through the years, though I'm the worst correspondent. Thanks for always being your sweet self, writing each Christmas, sending me the opera programs - I don't think I had the chance to tell you, but you and I had the same favorite tenor, Placido Domingo.
I'm sorry I've been so wrapped up in my own family all these years I never tried to contact you in person. I'm sorry I can't afford to come to your funeral and meet the family you loved and who loved and cared for you. I will always be eternally grateful to them for their care of you, far away from all who love you in your own family in California and beyond.
May God bless all the family of Uncle Cliff's wife Catherine, and may they never forget his sweet and musical soul. I never will!

I remember he would allow my Sisters and I to walk carefully into his room and look at his huge train set! He had many different sizes and had them all running and some had steam and some lit up and most made train whistle sounds. Very exciting for a little kid! He was a sweet Uncle who loved us and was a huge part of our family when I was a child. When he married Cathy he was very happy to have found a wife to love at his age. I think he was late 40s or 50. I was happy for him, but did miss him so. He just disappeared from our lives. Only saw him one more time when he brought his grandson to visit Grandma. That little guy kicked my Dad in the shins! Twice! That was funny.
