Clifford was a very kind person. He was quiet but when he spoke it was of utmost importance. Clifford is truly going to be be missed even though i i haven’t seen him since we were teenagers. I am praying for his wife and children as well as his family the ones i grew up with that were like family to me. I especially like being there around dinner time Mrs Willis was the best cook and she taught her children well. Even though Clifford was there he was always so quiet. I just pray that for peace for his family.
Cliff is now in Heaven – BBQing, listening to his music and of course watching sports! He and Val have been a huge part of my life for many years. He did all the meat for my wedding and 4 yrs later people still talk about how good it was. He was a true friend to me. I will miss him. God has himself a new angel.
