Today at the graveyard i saw some ducks off to my left but i later noticed the wind picked up and the ducks flew over

I also noticed the flags where blowing about half out and soon everything went calm. Mybe cliff was there with all

of us but i beleive he was. I know in my heart i could feel cliff next to me and i know hes ok and in good hands

But i can say cliff and i we had fun. James

Cliff, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I remember seeing something you posted on Facebook but it didn't click. Doug Otten sent me a FB message that "you" died. I'm truly sorry. Had I seen the obituary I would have tried to stop by to see you. I know you'll miss him!

cliff and i worked at the 33s years ago. he was on a shift i was on c one christmas the a shift worked i visited the station to drop off a pie. i went in the back door which leads to the kitchen i saw cliff and nancy rassmusen making rum balls on the table. cliff was on the bench nancy was sitting on the top of the table swaying back and forth. cliff was loudly singing, they had sampled perhaps one too many.

Some of the best times with cliff is when i was used to work for my best friend

I loved each and every story he told. The last time i talked to cliff he told me in december that he was going to florida and when he got back we would stay the last night at wishard hospital.im sorry just the thought hes not just give me a lump somewhere between throat and belly button. I really loved clifford he was like a dad to me in many ways.

Everytime i spoke to clifford i aways called him dad and now i cant call him and hear his voice and thats what scares me. I have a lot of great memories im just not ready to let them out yet

So i guess the next time we go to call clifford we need to remember clifford is somewhere on a firetruck and we just have to wait. Clifford your my hero DAD i will always take you everywhere i go . I love you cliff your friend James

I have many fond memories of Cliff at the Station 33, 416 union hall and many other events. He was always there to ask how my career was going and how my dad and family were doing. I wish to pass my deepest sympathies to the family and hope they find comfort.

Jim and I are truly sorry for your loss. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and if we can do anything for any of you please let us know. We loved him to pieces and will miss him terribly. Love, Jim & Irene
